Shipping and Delivery Policy
Effective Date: April 15, 2026
Thank you for choosing First Choice Shipping Containers. This Shipping and Delivery Policy explains how shipping, delivery availability, delivery charges, processing times, and delivery estimates are handled for orders placed through www.firstchoiceshippingcontainers.com.
Shipping availability, costs, and delivery timing may vary depending on the product, quantity, destination, site access, and delivery requirements.
1. Shipping and Delivery Availability
We provide shipping and delivery services to eligible locations within the United States.
Delivery availability depends on factors including:
Product type and size
Product availability
Delivery destination
Distance from the available inventory or dispatch location
Site accessibility
Required delivery equipment
Quantity ordered
Available shipping or delivery options will be displayed during checkout or confirmed as part of the order process.
If delivery cannot be completed to the address provided, we will contact you to discuss available options before fulfillment.
2. Order Processing
Orders are generally processed during normal business days, Monday through Friday, excluding applicable holidays.
Processing time may vary depending on:
Product availability
Payment confirmation
Order verification
Customization or modification requirements
Delivery scheduling
Processing time is separate from estimated transportation or delivery time.
Custom-built, modified, or special-order products may require additional preparation time.
3. Shipping and Delivery Charges
Shipping and delivery charges are based on the specific order and destination.
Applicable charges may depend on:
Delivery location
Product size and weight
Number of containers or products ordered
Transportation requirements
Required loading or unloading equipment
Site conditions
Additional delivery services requested
The applicable shipping or delivery charge will be displayed during checkout or confirmed with you before the order is finalized, depending on the order type.
We do not guarantee a single flat shipping rate for every product or destination unless that rate is specifically displayed or confirmed for the applicable order.
4. Estimated Delivery Time
Estimated delivery times vary depending on product availability, destination, transportation scheduling, and order requirements.
The applicable delivery estimate will be displayed or communicated during the checkout or order-confirmation process.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including:
Severe weather
Traffic or road restrictions
Carrier delays
Equipment availability
Site access issues
Public holidays
Natural disasters or emergencies
Other transportation disruptions
If we become aware of a significant delay affecting your order, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you.
5. Delivery Requirements
Shipping containers and similar products may require specialized delivery equipment and adequate site access.
Before delivery, customers are responsible for ensuring that:
The delivery address is accurate
The delivery site is accessible
Adequate space is available for the delivery vehicle
Ground conditions are suitable for delivery
Required permissions or site preparations have been completed
Someone authorized is available to receive the delivery when required
Additional charges may apply if delivery cannot be completed because of inaccurate information, restricted access, unsafe site conditions, or other circumstances outside our control.
6. Delivery Inspection
Customers should inspect the product at the time of delivery whenever reasonably possible.
If you notice visible damage, missing components, or a product that appears materially different from what was ordered:
Document the issue with photographs
Note visible damage with the delivery provider where possible

We will review the issue and determine the appropriate resolution in accordance with our applicable policies.
7. Tracking and Delivery Updates
Tracking information may be provided when tracking is available from the applicable carrier or transportation provider.
Some specialized container deliveries may use scheduled transportation rather than standard parcel tracking.
Where available, shipping or delivery updates may be provided by email, phone, or through the relevant carrier.
8. Failed or Rescheduled Deliveries
If delivery cannot be completed because of circumstances associated with the delivery location or customer-provided information, additional transportation, storage, redelivery, or related charges may apply.
Examples include:
Incorrect delivery address
Insufficient vehicle access
Unsafe or unsuitable ground conditions
Customer unavailable when required
Delivery refused without an eligible reason
Site not prepared for delivery
Any additional charges will depend on the circumstances and services required.

Your order number
Delivery or tracking information, if available
Description of the issue
Relevant photographs or documentation
We will review the matter and work with the applicable transportation provider where appropriate.
10. International Orders
Our standard website shipping and delivery services are intended for eligible United States destinations.
International shipping is not guaranteed through standard checkout.
If international delivery is specifically offered or arranged for an order, applicable shipping charges, taxes, duties, customs requirements, and delivery terms will be communicated separately before the order is finalized.
Customers should not assume that international shipping is available unless it has been expressly confirmed for their order.
11. Returns and Shipping Charges
Shipping, delivery, transportation, installation, and other completed service charges may be non-refundable depending on the circumstances.
Return transportation responsibilities and refund eligibility are governed by our Returns and Refunds Policy.
If a return is required because of an eligible error by First Choice Shipping Containers or an eligible damaged or defective delivery, we will provide instructions regarding the appropriate resolution.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Shipping and Delivery Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our delivery services, business operations, or applicable requirements.
The current version will be published on this page with its effective date.
