Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping containers offer a flexible moving solution by allowing you to load your belongings at your own pace. Once packed, the container is transported to your new location within the local area.
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 Moving Container. For a 20 ft Moving Container, we need 60 feet of space for the truck to pull forward. You can watch a video of a container delivery here.
The driver will do everything they can to place your Moving Container where you would like it. In the event a driver determines that it would be unsafe, unwise, or impossible to deliver to that location, they will choose the next most sensible place to deliver the Moving Container. Any delivery that would require a driver to leave an improved surface (pavement, asphalt, concrete, etc.) for an unstable surface (gravel, grass, etc.) the customer will be liable for any additional standby fees, towing fees, or repair fees associated with delivery to unsuitable site conditions. Please review our Hold Harmless Agreement for further details.
Most companies, like Get Simple Box, offer flexible rental periods, so you can keep the container as long as needed before and after your move, giving you the time to pack and unpack without stress.
The only thing you need to worry about is that the surface is fairly level and firm.
If the delivery area is on grass, mud, or a steeper slope, we recommend getting some gravel or several 12-inch 4×6 treated lumber blocks to help get the Moving Container level and get some air-flow underneath the Container. We do not recommend railroad ties as they are often uneven and we’ve seen a lot of people injure themselves trying to drag them around. Moving Containers are made to carry all of the weight at the corners, so all you really need is a treated block under the corner (the drivers carry some dunnage on the trucks).
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 Moving Container to be placed (some people leave a cone, lawn-chair, or brightly painted rock where they would like the doors to be placed). Your Dispatcher will give you a call or text the afternoon before your delivery is scheduled and your Driver will call or text when they are on their way to your place.
Yes! It’s one of the things we do best… call or email for pricing for a loaded move in a container to your new location. Keep in mind that our trucks and forklifts do have weight limits, so in order to avoid an overweight fee, make sure to pack no more than 9,000 pounds in the Moving Container (the average weight of contents from a 3 bedroom home is 6,500 pounds) and distribute the weight evenly.
Simple Box has a step-by-step process for delivering and moving our containers. All Loaded-Moves are done using 20 foot Moving Containers (up to 33% larger compared to PODS® or PACK-RAT®) and our specialized delivery equipment. See the video below for a quick overview of how it works.
Our delivery team runs from 8:00am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. We love it when we have at least 3 days notice, but we will do all that we can to get your delivery done on your ideal day(s).
Your Driver will call or text when they are on their way to your place.

We can deliver to most addresses in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Southern California. We can also move customers loaded to other states.
Sometimes for a delivery that is further away from one of our locations, it is more cost-effective for a customer to buy the Moving Container so that they are not paying a round-trip fee to have us come pick up the Container when they are all done.
Feel free to give us a call to confirm whether we can deliver to your specific address and to schedule your delivery date.
Yes, shipping containers are built to be durable and secure. They are weather-resistant and equipped with lockable doors, ensuring your belongings are protected during the move.
Moving Containers rent month-to-month and there is no long-term contract, so you can keep it for as long or little as you’d like. If you fall in love with your Container, we can even give you an option to purchase it (be sure to ask about this prior to choosing your container).
Our rental Boxes come with a steel lock-box welded or bolted onto the outside of the cargo doors. The lock-box conceals your padlock and protects it from tampering. You provide your own padlock and keep the key (we sell a Master Lock 6850 that fits perfectly). If you’re buying a container, we can install a lock-box for you.
You are responsible for insuring your own belongings. You may want to check with your Homeowners or Renters insurance provider.
Shipping container companies typically offer a range of sizes, from small 10-foot containers for compact moves to larger 20-foot containers for more extensive household relocations.
Transport is usually included in the service. The container company will deliver the container to your current location and then transport it to your new home once you’ve finished packing.
Do not store hazardous, explosive, or flammable materials inside your Moving Container (such as propane tanks or gas jugs). Gasoline should also be drained from any equipment placed in the container.
