Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping containers offer a flexible and secure way to move your belongings across long distances. You load the container at your own pace, and once packed, the company handles the transport to your new location, whether it’s across the state or the country.

Shipping containers are typically available in 10-foot and 20-foot options. You can choose a size based on the volume of items you need to move.

Our preference is to always deliver a Moving Container onto private property when possible. Occasionally, at the request of a customer, we will deliver a Container along a City street or lane for a very short period of time. Whenever it may be necessary to deliver a Moving Container in a public area or street, it is the responsibility of the Renter to obtain a permit from the applicable City or Government.

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).

Yes, shipping containers are designed to be durable and secure. They are built to withstand various weather conditions and have lockable doors, ensuring your items are well-protected during transit.

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.

There is no need to wait around for us or to take time off work!

You do not 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). 

Most companies offer flexible rental terms, allowing you to keep the container for as long as needed. This flexibility means you can take your time packing before the move and unpacking once it arrives at your new destination.

Yes, transport is usually included. The company will deliver the container to your current location, and after you’ve packed, they’ll handle the logistics of transporting it to your new home.

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.
