This policy explains what delivery costs, where we deliver, how long it takes and what your site needs. It applies to every order placed with Prime Shipping Containers.
Shipping cost
- Delivery is included in the price of every container and modified unit. There is no separate freight charge at checkout.
- Accessories ship with your container order at no extra shipping cost. Accessories are not sold on their own.
- Expedited delivery is available for $450.00. It must be approved by our team before purchase, and we confirm the expedited delivery date in writing.
- Extra charges only if your site needs them: if your placement spot can only be reached with a smaller trailer or a tow truck, an additional charge may apply. We quote it in writing before you pay, and you can cancel free of charge if you do not accept it.
