Shipping Policy

Effective Date: May 19, 2026

This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, scheduled, transported, and delivered by Precision Shipping Containers.

Because our products include industrial-grade shipping containers, container cabins, and related heavy equipment, all deliveries involve freight-based logistics and specialized transportation procedures.

By purchasing from Precision Shipping Containers, you agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping Policy.

Order Processing

Before shipment, every order goes through a structured processing phase to ensure product accuracy, freight readiness, and delivery coordination.

Standard Processing Time

  • Stocked containers and standard units: 3-7 business days

  • Used or specialty units: 5-10 business days

  • Customized or modified units: Processing timelines vary depending on specifications and project scope

Processing includes:

  • Payment verification

  • Product inspection and staging

  • Freight scheduling coordination

  • Delivery information confirmation

  • Documentation preparation

Orders are scheduled for shipment only after processing is completed successfully.

Shipping Coverage Area

Precision Shipping Containers provides freight delivery throughout the contiguous United States.

Delivery Availability Includes:

  • Commercial delivery locations

  • Residential delivery sites with adequate freight access

  • Industrial and construction project locations

  • Depot and freight terminal pickup options

Deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, or remote locations may require special approval and additional freight coordination.

Freight-Based Delivery

Shipping containers and related equipment are transported using licensed freight carriers and specialized hauling equipment.

Typical Freight Equipment Includes:

  • Flatbed trucks

  • Tilt-bed trailers

  • Heavy-duty freight carriers

  • Specialized haulers for oversized or refrigerated units

These are not parcel shipments and require coordinated scheduling and site preparation.

Shipping Cost Structure

Shipping costs are calculated individually based on freight logistics factors, including:

  • Distance from dispatch location

  • Container size and weight

  • Delivery location accessibility

  • Residential or commercial delivery conditions

  • Required offloading or specialized equipment

Because freight costs vary significantly, shipping rates are quoted individually rather than offered as flat-rate pricing.

Depot Pickup Option

Customers may choose depot or freight terminal pickup as an alternative to direct delivery.

Depot Pickup Benefits

  • Lower freight costs

  • Flexible pickup scheduling

  • Reduced residential delivery fees

  • Convenient access for customers with transport equipment

Customers choosing depot pickup are responsible for:

  • Coordinating pickup scheduling

  • Providing appropriate transportation

  • Securing the load properly during transport

Delivery Scheduling

Once freight scheduling begins:

  • The freight carrier may contact the customer directly

  • Delivery appointments are typically scheduled during business hours

  • Customers must confirm availability before delivery

Missed delivery appointments may result in:

  • Re-delivery fees

  • Carrier storage charges

  • Scheduling delays

Accurate contact information is essential for successful delivery coordination.

Delivery Responsibilities

Standard Delivery Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • Delivery is curbside or ground-level only

  • Drivers are not responsible for final placement or installation

  • Customers are responsible for site preparation and unloading arrangements

Site Access Requirements

Customers are responsible for ensuring the delivery location is accessible for freight equipment.

Important considerations include:

  • Adequate truck access

  • Driveway width and clearance

  • Stable ground conditions

  • Overhead clearance restrictions

  • Local permit or HOA requirements where applicable

If delivery cannot be completed due to inaccessible conditions, additional freight or re-delivery charges may apply.

Offloading Equipment

Unless specifically arranged in advance:

  • Forklifts are not included

  • Cranes are not included

  • Specialized unloading equipment is not included

Liftgate service may be available in limited situations for additional fees where operationally feasible.

Estimated Delivery Timelines

Delivery timelines vary depending on:

  • Freight routing

  • Carrier availability

  • Distance from dispatch location

  • Weather and transportation conditions

Typical Delivery Estimates

  • Regional deliveries: Several business days after shipment

  • Cross-country deliveries: up to 7-14 days

These estimates are not guaranteed delivery dates and may change based on freight conditions.

Inspection At Delivery

Customers must inspect products before signing the freight delivery receipt.

If Visible Damage Exists

  • Note the damage clearly on the freight paperwork

  • Take photographs immediately

  • Refuse delivery if the damage materially affects usability

  • Notify Precision Shipping Containers promptly

Signing the delivery receipt without notation generally indicates acceptance of the shipment condition.

Concealed Damage

If hidden damage is discovered after delivery:

  • Notify us within 48 hours

  • Provide photographs and written documentation

  • Avoid modifying or relocating the unit before reporting the issue

Carrier claim limitations may apply to delayed reports.

Shipping Delays & Force Majeure

Freight delivery schedules may be affected by factors outside our direct control, including:

  • Weather events

  • Carrier shortages

  • Mechanical breakdowns

  • Traffic or route restrictions

  • Governmental or regulatory delays

We communicate known delays whenever possible, but freight timelines may still change unexpectedly.

Shipping Charges & Refunds

Shipping and freight charges become non-refundable once freight dispatch or carrier scheduling has occurred.

Additional fees may apply for:

  • Missed appointments

  • Failed delivery attempts

  • Inaccessible delivery locations

  • Customer-caused delays

Freight Delivery Clarification

Shipping containers and industrial equipment are not consumer parcel shipments.

Customers should expect:

  • Freight coordination procedures

  • Delivery scheduling requirements

  • Site preparation responsibilities

  • Industrial handling processes

This policy exists to provide realistic expectations regarding freight-based industrial equipment deliveries.
