PREPARE YOURSELF FOR DELIVERY
USA Containers is not responsible for any damages of the Customer’s property done by the delivery driver ( e.g.: ground, lawn, fences, mailboxes, wires, pipes, etc ). Buyer is responsible to clear out the path of the delivery site so there are no obstacles such as mud, holes and power cables in the way and have a clear area of at least 120 feet of straight space and making sure the truck has enough room from the street into the property for unloading for either a 20′ container or a 40′ container or a 45′ container. All trailers are 40 feet long. All trucks are 20 feet long or more.
Here’s a video example.
– If truck cannot drive into the customer’s property because the street is not wide enough, property is wet, snowy or muddy, there is no clear path for delivery, graded hills or low bridges coming up to the property from the container depot or any similar situations, it is buyers fault and buyer should pay the delivery fees for a failed delivery. This includes any obstacles like trees, mail boxes, electrical poles, etc
– If a used container is rejected at the delivery location due to cosmetic appearance, including visible surface rust, dings, patches, and dents, while the unit is inspected and classified as WWT (Wind and Water Tight), two delivery fees will be applied for a redelivery of the same container classification (used containers). In the event of a cancellation, two delivery fees will be applied. If the customer decides to upgrade to a One-Trip container, two delivery fees plus the price difference will be applied.
What are the fees for a failed delivery?
Those fees are two (2) delivery fees, a cancellation fee and any other 3rd party costs such as potential wrecker or tow costs..
1. Delivery fee that customer paid to have the container delivered
2. Delivery fee from customer’s property back to the depot (warehouse)
3. Wrecker or tow truck fees, if applicable.
Please let USA Containers know prior to delivery if you are expecting bad weather (including soft / muddy ground) so we can postpone your delivery as we want to avoid any possible damages and charges. In case customer does not have enough space for the shipping container to be delivered and unloaded, USA Containers will unload the container as close as possible to customer’s property and then it becomes customer’s responsibility to move the container. In case there is no other place to unload the shipping container, truck driver will take the container back to the depot. Customer will then be charged the initial delivery fee and another delivery fee to take the container back to the depot plus the cancellation fee. Delivery companies cannot spend more than 30 minutes on a customer’s property. Any delays caused by customer for longer than 30 minutes will have to be paid at a cost of $100/hour directly to the delivery company or to USA Containers. If customer refuses to pay the $100/hour fee, then customer authorizes USA Containers to charge customer’s card or bank account for the amount due.
USA Containers uses third party companies to deliver all shipping containers. Third party companies are insured and liable for the entire delivery process. All third party delivery companies have their USDOT number on the side of the truck.
DESCRIPTION OF CONTAINERS
On the order details, such as invoice or quote, the type of container that customer orders will be mentioned. There are 2 types of containers that we sell.
One type will be “used” and one type will be “one trip”.
“USED” Containers will have varying levels of visible surface rust, dings, patches and dents. We recommend to pressure wash and paint your container to extend its life.
“ONE TRIP” Containers have been carried over the ocean at least once and then placed into container depots meaning that they might have small dings and dents.
