FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Click on a question below to view the answer. If you have any additional questions, we’d love to hear from you!
Our preference is to always deliver a Simple Box onto private property when possible. Occasionally, at the request of a customer, we will deliver a Simple Box along a City street or lane for a very short period of time. Whenever it may be necessary to deliver a Simple Box in a public area or street, it is the responsibility of the Renter to obtain a permit from the applicable Government or Homeowners Association.
To ensure a safe delivery, please make sure the ground is firm, there are no low-hanging wires, and you have enough space for the truck to pull forward from the back of the box. For a 20-foot container, we need 60 feet of space for the truck to pull forward. For a 40-foot container, we need 120 feet for the truck and trailer to pull forward.
You don’t need to be there for the delivery or pick-up as long as the delivery area is clear and we have a good idea of where you’d like the box to be placed (some people leave a cone, lawn chair, or brightly painted rock where they would like the doors to be placed).
Our driver will do everything they can to place your box where you would like it, but if it is determined that it would be unsafe or impossible due to space, they may choose the next most sensible place to deliver the box.
Rent is just month-to-month and there are no long-term contracts, but you can rent it for as long as you’d like. Most people rent if they know they will need the space for less than a year, and if they think they will be using the container for longer, they will request to purchase. With Simple Box you always have options.
