General questions
What sizes of containers do you offer?
We’ve got you covered with a variety of container sizes, from compact (for smaller storage jobs) to large (for major moves or long-term use). If you’re unsure what size you need, just give us a call and we’ll help figure it out together.
Can I rent and buy a container?
Yes! You can rent a container for as long as you need, or buy one if you’d rather own it. If you start out renting and later decide ownership is a better fit, we’ll talk you through the switch.
How does delivery work?
It’s pretty simple. We schedule delivery when it works for you, our driver brings the container to your site, and you’re free to load at your own pace. Just make sure there’s enough room for the truck and the ground is reasonably level so we can safely place the container.
Do I have to be there when the container is delivered or picked up?
Nope, you don’t have to wait around. As long as we know where to place the container, and the area is clear, our driver will handle it. We’ll give you a call or text before arrival so you’re in the loop.
Is the container weather-proof and secure?
Yes, our containers are built to last, made from heavy-duty steel, and sealed to keep out rain, wind, and pests. For security, rental units include a welded lock-box so you can add your own padlock and keep your items safe.
How long can I keep a rental container?
As long or as short as you like. Our rental model is month-to-month with no long-term contract, so you’re free to change your mind or move to ownership when it makes sense for you.
What if I end up needing a bigger container later on?
No problem at all. We can help you upgrade to a larger size or add another container if your needs grow. Just contact us and we’ll make it easy.
Can the container be placed on my property anywhere?
Mostly yes, but we’ll always check the site first. The “sweet spot” is a level, stable surface with enough room for delivery. If the site isn’t ideal (steep slope, soft ground), we’ll chat through what to do so the container stays safe and functional.
Do you deliver beyond storage use (e.g., moving, workshops, offices)?
Absolutely. Containers aren’t just for storage, they can serve as moving units, portable offices, workshops, or other custom uses. We’re happy to talk through modifications, sizing, and how we can adapt the container to your project.
All about 10ft Shipping Containers

10ft containers are great for small storage needs, like tools, equipment, or seasonal items. They fit easily in driveways, parking spots, or tight spaces where larger containers won’t fit.
Can I rent a 10ft container?
Yes! We offer 10ft containers for both rent and purchase. They’re ideal for temporary storage, construction projects, or short-term moves.
Do 10ft containers come in different types?
Most 10ft containers are built from one trip (new) units and feature easy open doors and lock boxes for security. Some are available in specialty styles like roll-up door or insulated versions.
Can a 10ft container be delivered to my home?
Yes, 10ft containers are the easiest to deliver. They fit in most residential driveways and need about 40 feet of clear space for our delivery truck to unload safely.

How big is a 10ft container?

All about 20ft Shipping Containers
What Kind of Doors Do 20ft Containers Have?
Most standard 20ft containers have double cargo doors that swing open on one end. We also offer options with easy-open handles or roll-up doors if you need quicker access or plan to open your container frequently.
Can I Rent a 20ft Container Instead of Buying?
Definitely. Renting is a great choice if you only need storage or moving space for a short time. Our rental containers are clean, secure, and delivered right where you need them. Plus, all rentals are month-to-month, no long-term commitment required.
How Do You Deliver 20ft Containers?
We use tilt-bed trucks that carefully lower the container into place. The truck needs about 75 feet of straight clearance and a fairly level surface. Our drivers will coordinate placement with you to make sure the doors open easily and the container sits where you want it.
Where Can I Buy a 20ft Container Near Me?
You can pick up or have a 20-foot container delivered from any of our Get Simple Box locations. We’ll help you find one that fits your budget and timeline, and you’ll always talk to a real local team member who knows your area.

Whether you’re moving, remodeling, or storing business inventory, it’s a great mid-size option that fits in most driveways or job sites.

High Cube – One foot taller for extra space.
Double Door – Doors on both ends for easier access.
Open Side – Full side access for larger equipment or pallets.

You can rent or buy a 40ft container from any of our Get Simple Box locations. Our team will help you find the right style, arrange delivery, and make sure it’s a perfect fit for your space.
DELIVERY
How are containers delivered?
Our delivery process is simple and stress-free. We use tilt-bed trucks that carefully lower the container into place. All we need is a clear, level area and enough space for the truck to back in and pull away safely.
How quickly can you deliver?
In most cases, delivery happens within a few business days of your order, sometimes even sooner. We’ll always confirm a date that works best for you.
When will my driver arrive?
You’ll get a confirmation before delivery and a call or text from your driver when they’re on the way. We do our best to arrive within the scheduled window.
How much room do I need for delivery?
Our drivers typically need 60–100 feet of straight, clear space, depending on the container size. A level surface helps ensure the doors open smoothly once it’s set down.
Where can my box be placed?
Most people choose a driveway, parking lot, or gravel pad, anywhere that’s firm and level. We’ll help you pick the best spot for easy access and safety.
Is there any site preparation necessary?
Just clear the area of debris, vehicles, or low-hanging branches. Setting wood blocks or pavers under each corner can help keep the container level and improve airflow underneath.
Can my Box be delivered on the street?
Yes, in many areas, but some cities or HOAs may require a temporary permit. It’s always a good idea to check with your local regulations before delivery day.
Storage Container Rental Questions
Whether you are remodeling your home, managing a construction site, or need extra inventory space for your business, portable storage containers offer the ultimate flexibility. Instead of renting a moving truck and hauling your belongings to a facility, the storage comes directly to you.
Our steel containers are weather-resistant, highly secure, and designed to keep your valuables safe from the elements.
How much does it cost to rent a container?
Rental pricing depends on your location, container size, and whether you need residential or contractor-grade equipment. Most 20-foot rentals are in the $120–$199/month range, plus delivery and pickup. The best way to get an exact price is to contact your local Get Simple Box team for a quick quote.
Is rent month-to-month or do I have to sign a long-term contract?
Our rentals are month-to-month with a one-month minimum. You can keep the container as long as you need, and when you’re done, just give us notice so we can schedule pickup
When does my rental “month” start and end?
Billing starts the day we deliver the container, and your rental renews monthly on that same anniversary date (for example: the 14th to the 13th). This keeps billing simple and fair, and it ensures you always receive a full month of use.
Do you prorate rent if I only need it for a few days?
We don’t prorate rentals because the container is reserved, delivered, and scheduled around your use. The good news is rentals are month-to-month, so you’re never locked into a long contract.
How much notice do I need to give to end my rental?
Because our pickups are scheduled based on driver availability, we need at least 10 days’ notice to stop billing and schedule an empty pickup. The earlier you let us know, the easier it is for us to fit you into the schedule.
What do I pay upfront when I start a rental?
At the start of your rental, we usually collect the first month’s rent and delivery fees in advance before delivery. Your local team will confirm the exact amounts and explain how ongoing billing works.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept standard payment methods and require a credit/debit card on file as a backup method for rentals (similar to a hotel or car rental). Many customers choose autopay for convenience.
Do you charge a credit card surcharge?
Many companies add a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. We don’t. We try to keep pricing simple, fair, and transparent.
Do you send invoices or statements each month?
Most residential customers are on autopay, so we don’t automatically send monthly invoices. If you want an invoice or receipt, just ask—we can email one anytime. Some commercial customers may qualify for invoicing arrangements depending on the situation.
Do you offer short-term rentals?
Yes. Our month-to-month rental model is great for short projects like remodeling, flooring work, renovations, moving, or seasonal storage. You can keep the container as long as needed and return it when you’re done.
Can I move my rental container myself once it’s delivered?
For safety and liability reasons, customers are not allowed to move rental containers. Moving containers requires specialized equipment. If you need it moved on your property or to a new address, just call us and we can schedule a relocation.
Can you move the container to a new address (move request)?
Yes. If you need your container moved from one location to another, we can schedule a relocation. Pricing depends on distance and access conditions, so your local team will provide a quote.
What if I damage the container or it gets graffiti?
If a container is damaged or vandalized while on your property, you may be responsible for repair or cleaning fees. If you notice damage, contact us right away so we can document it and work toward the best solution.
Can I store the container at your yard instead of my property?
Yes. Many locations offer secure off-site storage. This is common for moving customers who need a gap between move-out and move-in dates. Storage fees and access rules vary by location, so your local team will confirm the details.
Can I access my container while it’s stored at your facility?
Yes. If your container is stored at our facility, you can access it by giving us 48 hours notice. This allows us time to move the container into an accessible position. Some locations include a limited number of access requests per month at no extra charge.
Do you provide insurance for the items inside the container?
We insure our delivery equipment, but we can’t insure the contents you store inside the container. Most customers call their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance provider and add coverage or confirm coverage for stored items. We also recommend customers carry adequate coverage for the container itself while it’s on their property.
Are there items I cannot store in the container?
For safety reasons, you may not store hazardous, explosive, or flammable items such as propane tanks, fuel cans, fireworks, or chemicals. Gasoline should be drained from equipment before storage.
Can I switch my rental into a purchase later?
In some cases, we may be able to offer you the option to purchase the container you’ve been renting. Availability depends on our fleet needs and inventory. Rent paid does not apply toward the purchase price, but we’re happy to discuss options.
Do you offer rent-to-own?
We offer rent-to-own options for certain new 20-foot containers. Terms and availability vary, so the best next step is to contact your local team and ask what programs are currently available.
Used and new container sales
Do you offer new and used shipping containers for sale?
Yes! We carry both new (one-trip) and used (cargo-worthy) shipping containers. New containers are clean and like-new, while used ones offer great value and plenty of life left for storage or building projects.
What condition are the used containers in?
All used containers are cargo-worthy, which means they’re wind- and watertight with working doors and solid floors. They may show minor dents or surface rust, but each one is inspected to make sure it’s secure and functional.
Can I see the container before I buy it?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to visit one of our local yards to hand-pick your container, or we can send you photos and videos of available options before purchase.
What sizes do shipping containers come in?
We offer 10-foot, 20-foot, and 40-foot containers, plus high-cube versions that are one foot taller. Each size can be used for storage, moving, or building projects depending on your space and needs.
Can I customize a shipping container before buying it?
Yes, we can help with paint, doors, windows, vents, or insulation. Whether you’re turning it into an office, workshop, or something creative, our team can guide you through the customization process.
Why choose to buy a shipping container over renting or a storage unit?
Buying gives you long-term value and flexibility, you own it outright and can use it for storage, business, or resale later on. It’s a one-time purchase that often pays for itself compared to monthly rental costs.
How long will a shipping container last?
With proper care, containers can last 25 years or more. They’re built from corten steel, designed to withstand harsh sea conditions — so they hold up great in all climates.
Can shipping containers be used as offices or buildings?
Definitely! Many of our customers use containers as portable offices, workshops, or tiny homes. They’re durable, mobile, and easy to modify to fit your design or business needs.
moving containers
How much does a moving container rental cost?
Prices vary by size, distance, and location. Most local moves start around $200–$400, while long-distance moves depend on mileage and delivery zones. We’ll provide an upfront quote with no hidden fees.
What happens if my move date changes?
No stress, we know plans can shift. Just contact us as soon as you can, and we’ll adjust your delivery or pickup dates to match your new schedule.
Can I pack fragile items in a moving container?
Yes, absolutely. Just be sure to wrap breakables in bubble wrap or blankets and keep them tight in boxes to avoid shifting during transport.
Can I store the moving container at your facility before my new home is ready?
Yes! Many customers use our secure storage yards between move-out and move-in dates. You can store your loaded Box with us for a few days or a few months, whatever you need.
How do I estimate how many moving containers I’ll need?
As a general guide:
1 Box fits most studio or one-bedroom homes.
2 Boxes fit a two- to three-bedroom home.
3 Boxes or more fit larger homes or moves with furniture, tools, and outdoor items.
Our team can help you plan the right number for your space.
Can you move my loaded container to a new location?
Yes, that’s our specialty! We’ll pick up your loaded Box and deliver it directly to your new home or job site, locally or long-distance.
Where does Get Simple Box deliver moving containers?
We serve most areas near our local branches in Washington, Oregon, Palm Springs, and Arizona. Contact us with your new address, and we’ll confirm availability for your route.
How long is the rental term for a moving container?
Rentals are month-to-month, giving you the flexibility to load, move, and unload at your own pace.
Should I buy extra blocks or dunnage?
You typically won’t need any. Our drivers place the Box safely on level ground, but a few wood blocks can help with airflow or leveling on soft surfaces.
What are moving containers made of?
All Simple Box containers are built from corten steel, the same material used for ocean freight shipping, designed to handle heavy loads and harsh travel conditions.
What if my delivery driver gets stuck or can’t reach my site?
Our drivers are pros at navigating tight spaces, but if an access issue pops up, we’ll work with you to find an alternate placement or reschedule as needed.
How does the cost of Get Simple Box compare to PODS®?
In most areas, Get Simple Box offers more flexible local service at a lower price. You’ll also get to work directly with our local team instead of a national call center, real people, real support.
buying your rental container
Can I buy the container I’ve been renting?
In some cases, yes! We occasionally offer rental container buyouts when it benefits both the customer and our fleet. Not every container is eligible, but if yours is, we can prepare a quote based on the current sales price for the same One-Trip model.
You’ll also receive a goodwill credit of up to $250 (about two months’ rent) toward the purchase.
I’ve been renting for years, don’t I own it by now?
Rental payments cover your use of the container during that time, just like renting a car or apartment. They don’t go toward ownership unless you’re in our Rent-to-Own program. A buyout is a separate process based on today’s sales price, plus a small goodwill credit.
Why is the goodwill credit limited to $250?
The $250 credit helps balance fairness for both sides, it lets you apply a small discount toward ownership while allowing us to replace that unit in our rental fleet and keep pricing consistent for future customers.
What if I find a cheaper container somewhere else?
You might find a similar One-trip container for a lower price elsewhere — and that’s okay. Our pricing is based on our costs, margins, and ability to keep our fleet strong. Buying direct from us means no downtime, no extra delivery costs, and no site disruption. The actual cost difference is usually in your favor once you factor in those savings. Once you factor in pickup fees, delivery fees, and the time to unload/reload, most customers find it’s more cost-effective to buy direct from us and keep their current setup in place.
Why can’t I just keep the one I already have?
Some containers can’t be sold because they’re tied to financing, depreciation schedules, or fleet needs. If your current container isn’t eligible, we can offer a similar One-Trip container from our sales inventory, same size, same quality, and delivered right to your site.
Why is the buyout price based on the current sales price?
All of our rental containers start as One-Trip units, which are a much higher grade than standard used containers. Even after years in service, they retain strong value because they’ve only made a single trip overseas. The price reflects today’s sales rate for that same container type and condition.
What if my container has dents or wear, does that lower the price?
Light wear and surface rust are normal for containers that have been in service, but they don’t impact the structure, security, or lifespan. Your container is still a One-Trip unit with many years of useful life ahead.
Licensing Questions
We believe a great partnership starts with complete transparency. Building a portable storage business is a major decision, and you deserve clear, honest answers without the corporate runaround. Below, we have answered the most common questions we get about how our licensing model, lead routing, and network systems work in the real world.
Is this a franchise or an independent model?
This is a pure licensing and shared-services model. You maintain 100% independent ownership of your business entity, your physical containers, your vehicles, and your local pricing. We provide the digital engine, support tools, and network connection, but we do not dictate your daily operations or take a percentage of your revenue.
Do I operate under the Get Simple Box name or my own local brand?
You establish and fully own your independent business entity (such as Miami Containers, LLC), and we serve as the digital engine and support team behind it. This gives you the best of both worlds—100% ownership of your local container company, plus voluntary access to the instant credibility and marketing power of a national network.
How exactly does local territory routing and lead distribution work?
We designate specific zip codes for your location’s first right of refusal on incoming leads. If there are open zip codes beyond your immediate territory that are closer to your yard than any other operator, we route those to you as well until a closer partner signs up. Generally, an operator’s standard market focus covers an approximate 60-to-90 minute drive-time radius, a population base of 250,000+, or entire local counties.
When a high-intent online lead comes through the central system for your zip codes, it drops straight into your dashboard. To ensure excellent customer service network-wide, you have a 12-to-24 hour window to accept the lead. If it is declined or missed, it temporarily defaults back to central routing so the customer gets an instant response.
What is the total estimated capital required to open a new physical yard?
The upfront Get Simple Box Enrollment Fee is $10,000, which covers your technical onboarding, CRM setup, and digital launch engineering. However, because this is an asset-heavy business, the real capital required to start a physical yard—including securing your initial container inventory, delivery equipment, and yard setup—typically ranges between $120,000 and $250,000 or more. Please keep in mind that the container industry is asset-intensive, meaning that as you bring on more customers, you will need to bring on more inventory to serve them. We can help you look over these asset requirements during your evaluation phase and can connect you with preferred equipment lenders.
Is the BoxBot container delivery system a requirement for new locations?
No. The BoxBot delivery system is highly recommended and available to our operators, but it is completely optional. If you already own or plan to use a functional, safe truck-and-trailer setup that handles container drop-offs efficiently, you are entirely free to use it. Our goal is to support your local efficiency, not mandate specific equipment.
What happens logistically if I choose to use the Freedom to Exit?
We believe a partnership should endure based on shared value, not complicated contracts. If you give your 120 days’ notice to leave the network, your physical business assets remain 100% yours. We will cleanly disconnect your local landing pages and stop routing central leads to your zip codes. You retain every single customer account, your yard, and your container fleet completely unencumbered. You simply phase out the use of trademarked Get Simple Box logos and decals so we can open up availability for that market area again.
How long does it typically take to get a new location up and running?
Onboarding your digital setup with us takes less than 60 days—we can have your local web presence, CRM tracking, and Google ads ready to launch quickly. The real timeline depends on your local asset setup: finding your yard space, securing local zoning permissions, and getting your first batch of container inventory delivered. On average, most operators are fully open and taking their first container rentals within 60 to 90 days of signing their agreement.
How do the local and interstate moving partnerships work across the network?
One of the hardest parts of doing moves on your own is coordinating logistics when a container leaves your town. Through our connected network, you can coordinate cross-regional and interstate moves with other independent Get Simple Box operators. Because our network works collaboratively, you can seamlessly pass logistics, drop-offs, and container returns to trusted peers in other markets, allowing you to capture high-ticket moving packages without the administrative headache.
What kind of ongoing time commitment is required from me as the owner?
We are looking for active owner-operators who want to be deeply involved in building a household name in their community, not hands-off passive investors. While we handle the digital heavy lifting and administrative systems, you will need to manage local customer relationships, coordinate your local drivers, and oversee your yard. We also ask that you commit a few hours a month to engage in our 1-on-1 coaching sessions and participate in our Monthly Operator Forums to stay connected with the group.
Can I expand into multiple locations or secure more than one market area?
Yes. We love supporting successful operators who want to scale up. Because we charge a flat fee per location rather than taking a percentage of your total sales, your profitability goes up as you grow. If you prove that your first location is thriving, stable, and providing excellent customer service, you will have the first opportunity to secure adjacent zip codes or open an additional yard in an open market area at the standard flat rate.
Can I add a licensing location if I already own an existing container yard?
Absolutely. Many potential Operators are already in the container or storage business but feel isolated or stuck at a growth ceiling. You can plug your current physical operation into our digital engine, marketing systems, and peer network to instantly unlock better lead flows, group vendor pricing, and long-distance moving capabilities.
We’ll treat you like we’d want to be treated.
