Frequently Asked Questions
Since we’re basically getting the following compartment off the stack at the multi-purpose terminal that meets the measures you mentioned, we can’t choose a shading… For utilized holders we can’t permit the client to demand their shading, but we can offer beige and dark shading choices for One Trip compartments. Assuming you’re requesting numerous units, we can for the most part ensure matching units (upon demand, in view of accessibility).
Sending out a compartment is undeniably more complicated than getting one. We energetically prescribe all clients who need to involve their holder for trade work with a cargo forwarder first… and afterward contact us to purchase the compartment about possibly 14 days before you intend to get it.
We do not move loaded containers under any circumstance.
If you need an existing container moved, we recommend working with a local heavy haul company or heavy duty wrecking/towing company.
Western Container Sales has partnered with Bread to offer our customers the opportunity to finance their purchase.

A great deal of our rivals use grades like “A Grade” yet that is a piece misdirecting, we think. Assuming you call the huge public rental organizations and they let you know they can sell you “A Grade” box that simply implies a holder that is wind/water tight and could conceivably have been painted since they gotten it. Or on the other hand perhaps it has less rust than you’d ordinarily expect on a normal WWT grade unit.
Intermodal depots are extremely busy places, and 90%+ of container traffic at depots is cargo related. Unless you have specific business to attend to at the depot, we don’t recommend visiting.
If you have the proper equipment to safely transport a shipping container, our preferred option is for the customer to pick-up their own box.
We take your online security seriously. All payment processing happens on secure third party sites like Stripe, Bread, or Shopify’s Payment Gateway (credit cards used in the Shopify portal are processed by Shopify Payments, which is powered by Stripe, and credit card payments for rentals are processed by Stripe). Western Container Sales uses these third party sites because they are industry leaders in eCommerce transactions. Stripe is trusted by companies like Pinterest and lyft for processing online payments.
It’s not uncommon for a container to have a lingering odor, and it can usually be resolved by opening the doors and letting it air out (industrial strength odor neutralizers also help, and can be purchased at most hardware stores).
