Question 1

What does WWT mean?

Accepted Answer

WWT stands for Wind and Watertight. It means the container is structurally sound and sealed against the elements — no significant holes, leaks, or structural damage. Minor surface rust and cosmetic wear are typical of used WWT units. They are cargo-safe and weatherproof for storage use.

Question 2

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Most orders in Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton are delivered within 3–5 business days of payment confirmation. Remote or out-of-city locations may take 5–10 business days. We will confirm your delivery window in your quote.

Question 3

Do I need a permit to place a container on my property?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary by municipality. In most residential areas, a temporary placement permit may be required for long-term storage use. We recommend checking with your local municipality or city planning office before ordering. Our team can advise based on your city.

Taxes depend on your province. Ontario: 13% HST. Alberta: 5% GST only — no provincial sales tax. BC: 12% (5% GST + 7% PST). Saskatchewan: 11% (5% GST + 6% PST). Manitoba: 12% (5% GST + 7% PST). Quebec: 14.975% (5% GST + 9.975% QST). All taxes are clearly itemized in your quote — no surprises at delivery.

Question 5

Can I inspect the container before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Contact us to arrange a viewing at our nearest yard. We also provide detailed condition photos with every quote so you can assess the unit before committing.

Question 6

How is delivery done?

We use tilt-tray or side-loader trucks for delivery. You'll need approximately 60–80 feet of clear access to the placement site. Exact site requirements depend on your location and access. Our delivery team will confirm requirements when booking your delivery.

Question 7

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

There is no minimum order. You can purchase a single container. Volume discounts may be available for orders of 3 or more units — contact us for details.

Question 8

Can I modify a container after purchase?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though modifications are the buyer's responsibility after delivery. Many customers add shelving, ventilation, windows, electrical, or custom doors. We recommend working with a certified container modification company for structural work.
