Step-by-Step Container Delivery Process
Here is our easy, step-by-step process of how we deliver our containers. See the videos below for a visual reference on a delivery of a 20 foot and 40 foot container.
CHOOSING DELIVERY AREA
You’ll want to make sure that the area you want your shipping container placed is suitable (level and firm ground, clear of debris, etc).
BACKING INTO PLACE
Upon arrival, our expert drivers will back into the space where the container is to be placed. The driver will slowly set one end of the container on the ground, pull forward, and gently set the other end of the Box down.
SETTING ON GROUND
If dunnage is required to set the box on, the driver will set these wood blocks down in the correct spots before setting the ends on the ground.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CONTAINER DELIVERY
Our primary goal is to make the Delivery process… simple! This includes limiting your need to prep.
However, we want to avoid bringing a big shipping container to a site only to discover that we can’t place the container on the ground. Therefore, you need to make sure that you have a suitable place in mind for your shipping container before we arrive.
THE IDEAL CONTAINER DELIVERY SITE:
- FIRM GROUND
The ground must be flat and firm. If your preferred location is on soft ground or is slightly sloped, we recommend bringing in gravel or using lumber blocks to help make the space more container friendly. - OVERHEAD CLEARANCE
Make sure that there are no low-hanging wires, branches, or anything that might get in the way of delivery. We require at least 15′ of clearance for our trucks to deliver containers. - ROOM TO BACK IN AND PULL FORWARD
There must be room for the truck to safely pull in off the road, back into place, and then pull forward.
A 20ft container requires 70ft of space for the truck, and a 40ft container requires 140ft of space for the truck. - PERMISSION TO DELIVER
Try to plan for delivery on private property. We sometimes place shipping containers on city streets in front of your home, but we’ll only recommend this option for a short period of time. We prefer to place them on private property to avoid any potential issues. If we do place your shipping container on a city street or other public place, it is always the customer’s responsibility to obtain proper permits
Although we can sometimes deliver on short notice, we typically require at least a 3-days notice to deliver a box according to your ideal delivery date.
All appointments depend upon availability, and three days should give us enough time to fit you in during your preferred times.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CONTAINER DELIVERY
If the delivery area is on a bit of a slope, we recommend getting some gravel or several 12-inch 4×6 treated lumber blocks to help get the Box level and get some air-flow underneath the Box.
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. Containers are made to carry all of the weight at the corners, so all you need is a block under the corner (the drivers carry some dunnage on the trucks).
- 20-FOOT CONTAINER: For a 20 foot container, we need 70 feet for the tilt-deck truck to pull forward in a straight line.
- 40-FOOT CONTAINER: For a 40 foot container, we need 140 feet for the truck & trailer to pull forward in a straight line.
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 Box to be placed.
Some people leave a cone, lawn-chair, or brightly painted rock where they would like the doors to be placed).
We can deliver to most addresses in Washington State, Oregon State, and Arizona State. 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 Box so that they are not paying a round-trip fee to have us come pick up the Box 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.
Our drivers are amazing, but there are some times when a site just isn’t suitable, or a customer changes their mind.
If a customer’s ideal delivery location is not suitable, the driver will do all that they can to place the Box in an alternate nearby location.
We budget for up to 30 minutes at customer site to load or unload, and secure the container. Any additional standby or transport time will be billed at $100 per hour.
Any towing or repair bills resulting from insufficient site conditions will be sent straight through to the customer or delivery contact.

CONEX CONTAINER RENTALS FOR JOB SITE STORAGE
How much Site Prep is needed for Delivering a Container?
To ensure a safe delivery, please make sure the ground is hard-packed gravel or some other improved surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.), there are no low-hanging wires, and you have enough space for the truck to pull forward from the back of the box.
Should I buy extra Blocks or Dunnage?
If the delivery area is on a bit of a slope, we recommend getting some gravel or several 12-inch 4×6 treated lumber blocks to help get the Box level and get some air-flow underneath the Box.
Can the container be set on railroad ties?
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. Containers are made to carry all of the weight at the corners, so all you need is a block under the corner (the drivers carry some dunnage on the trucks).
How much room is needed for container delivery?

- 40-FOOT CONTAINER: For a 40 foot container, we need 140 feet for the truck & trailer to pull forward in a straight line.
- LOCATION The great thing about a Container is that they can be delivered practically anywhere. We deliver to Businesses and Job sites in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Because transportation cost is the main factor that affects the price difference from one region to the next, you can expect the cost to Rent or Buy to be 10-20% lower the nearer you are to a major port city. Final delivery costs vary from city to city, but usually end up being $2-3 per mile.
- SIZE & TYPE Conex come in standard dimensions that are 8 feet wide and either 10′, 20′, or 40′ long. See our Container Dimensions chart for reference. The more common and available the container size/type, the lower the price will be. Due to global supply chain fluctuations, some years used 40' containers are the cheapest of all, and other years (like in 2021) they are more expensive.
- CONDITION & AGE Most new containers have only made one trip across the ocean. As such, they are generally in much better cosmetic condition and more valuable. Most used containers have are 12 or more years old (sometimes 30 or more years old) and have made many voyages across the ocean and on trucks and trains. As such, they are generally less expensive (often 20-40% less than a brand new container).

What is a Conex Box?
A Conex or Conex Box is just another term for an ISO Intermodal Container that is often used for shipping and storage. Shipping Containers are often the toughest, simplest, and most cost-effective storage solution. One of the first things Project Managers often need to arrange is for a Conex to keep equipment secure and the job site organized.
Why get a Conex?
-
Equipment Storage
A Conex Rental provides instant secure space to keep your tools and equipment. -
Inventory Storage
Don’t leave valuable product outside on pallets. Using containers for inventory is easy and cost effective. -
Crew Usage
Use a Conex to get out of the elements or have a safety meeting before getting back to work. -
Portable Office
Want to maintain a basic office on the job site? Request a Job Box with shelving, overhead lights, and tool storage area to keep your job running as efficient as possible.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RENTING A CONTAINER
CONTAINER DELIVERY
We’d love at least 3 days notice for delivery or pickup of your Box. All Delivery appointments are based on availability in the schedule, so it is best to call with as much notice as possible to ensure your desired dates are available. We always need a window of two days or day-slots to work with. Appointments made under two business days are considered expedited and may be subject to a $50 expedited fee.
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). 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.
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’ box, we need 60 feet of space for the truck to pull forward. For a 40’ box, we need 120 feet. You can watch a video of a container delivery here.
The driver will do everything he can to place your Box where you would like it, but if the driver determines that it would be unsafe, unwise, or impossible to deliver to that location, he will choose the next most sensible place to deliver the Box or have you sign a Hold Harmless agreement before attempting delivery.
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 Box level and get some air-flow underneath the Box. 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. 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).
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 City or Government.
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 Box (the average weight of contents from a 3 bedroom home is 6,500 pounds) and distribute the weight evenly.
PAYMENTS & INSURANCE
Boxes 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 box, we can even give you an option to purchase it. We also have a Rent-to-Own Container program (be sure to ask about this prior to choosing your container).
Most Contractors rent rather than buying a container so that the cost of the Box can be directly billed to the customer or job. But they are surprised to find that many other container companies charge “funny fees” such as fuel surcharges and bill on 4-week cycles (which ends up costing you 18% more than you were planning). At Simple Box, even your billing is simple. Rent is just month to month and you pay for all trucking up front.
You are responsible for insuring your own belongings. You may want to check with your Homeowners or Renters insurance provider.
SAFETY & SECURITY
Do not store hazardous, explosive, or flammable materials in the Box (such as propane tanks or gas jugs). Gasoline should also be drained from any equipment placed in the 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.
Our containers are constructed of 14 gauge steel with 1-1/8” marine grade hardwood flooring, and a water-tight gasket around the doors. As long as you make sure to close the door and only store dry things inside the container, your contents will be safe from wind, rain, and rodents.
No matter what your shipping container needs are, Simple Box can deliver the quality and service you’re looking for. Call us at 1-855-855-4269 or call the Simple Box location nearest you. We look forward to taking your call and earning your business.
