7. Shipping Methods Offered

Target Box Container Sales offers several professional delivery options depending on your location, container type, and site accessibility.

Available methods may include:

Standard Delivery

Our most popular delivery option for customers throughout Canada.


Tilt-Bed Delivery

Ideal for most residential and commercial deliveries where direct container placement is possible without additional lifting equipment.


Flatbed Delivery

Used for deliveries requiring alternative unloading methods or specialized placement.


Crane-Assisted Delivery

Available where containers must be lifted over obstacles, stacked, or placed in areas inaccessible by tilt-bed equipment.

Our logistics team will recommend the most appropriate delivery method based on your project requirements.


8. Standard Delivery

Our Standard Delivery service provides dependable transportation throughout Canada using our company-owned fleet and professional logistics network.

Standard Delivery includes:

  • Professional transportation
  • Delivery scheduling
  • Site coordination
  • Container placement where site conditions permit
  • Delivery confirmation

Standard Delivery is available for most serviceable locations across Canada.

For remote communities, northern territories, or locations requiring specialized equipment, additional delivery arrangements may be necessary. Any additional charges or requirements will be discussed with you before your order is dispatched.

9. Freight & Heavy Equipment Delivery

Shipping containers are classified as oversized freight and require specialized transportation equipment for safe handling and delivery.

Target Box Container Sales utilizes company-owned heavy-duty delivery vehicles, professional drivers, and specialized equipment to transport containers throughout Canada.

Approximate empty container weights include:

  • 10ft Container: 2,800–3,200 lbs (1,270–1,450 kg)
  • 20ft Container: 4,800–5,300 lbs (2,180–2,400 kg)
  • 40ft Standard Container: 8,000–8,800 lbs (3,630–4,000 kg)
  • 40ft High Cube Container: 8,300–9,000 lbs (3,765–4,080 kg)

All deliveries are completed using properly maintained equipment operated by trained professionals in accordance with applicable Canadian transportation regulations.


10. Tilt-Bed Delivery

Tilt-bed delivery is our preferred delivery method for most residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial locations.

During a tilt-bed delivery, the trailer hydraulically tilts, allowing the container to slide safely into its final position without requiring additional unloading equipment.

Tilt-bed delivery offers several advantages:

  • Fast and efficient unloading
  • No customer-owned forklift required
  • Precise container placement
  • Reduced installation time
  • Suitable for most level sites

Our logistics team will confirm whether your property is suitable for tilt-bed delivery before dispatch.


11. Flatbed Delivery

Flatbed delivery is used when tilt-bed delivery is not practical or where site conditions require alternative unloading methods.

Flatbed delivery may be recommended for:

  • Restricted access locations
  • Commercial construction projects
  • Large industrial facilities
  • Multi-container deliveries
  • Sites requiring crane placement
  • Specialty container installations

Depending on the delivery location, additional unloading equipment such as a forklift or crane may be required.

Where applicable, our logistics team will coordinate these arrangements with you before delivery.


12. Crane Delivery (Where Required)

Certain delivery locations require crane-assisted placement.

Crane delivery may be recommended when:

  • The container must be lifted over buildings or fences.
  • The placement location cannot be reached by delivery truck.
  • Containers are being stacked.
  • Space is limited.
  • Specialized positioning is required.
  • The project involves modular or container home installations.

If crane services are necessary, our logistics team will discuss the requirements with you before delivery.

Any applicable crane-related costs will be clearly communicated and approved before scheduling.


13. Delivery Scheduling Process

Once your order has been processed, our logistics department will coordinate your delivery.

Our scheduling process typically includes:

  1. Confirmation that your order is ready for dispatch.
  2. Verification of your delivery address and contact information.
  3. Review of site accessibility.
  4. Selection of the appropriate delivery equipment.
  5. Scheduling of your delivery date.
  6. Delivery confirmation provided before dispatch.

Customers are generally contacted 24–48 hours prior to delivery to confirm:

  • Delivery date
  • Estimated arrival window
  • Site access
  • Placement location
  • Final delivery instructions

Where available, additional delivery updates may be provided by telephone, email, or SMS.


14. Shipping Cost Calculation

Shipping costs vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Delivery destination
  • Province or territory
  • Container size
  • Container weight
  • Delivery method
  • Accessibility of the delivery site
  • Remote location requirements
  • Additional lifting equipment (if required)

Your delivery cost will be calculated before checkout or included in your written quotation.

Target Box Container Sales believes in transparent pricing.

We do not add hidden freight charges after your order has been confirmed.

If additional services become necessary due to site conditions or customer-requested changes, we will provide a revised quotation for your approval before proceeding.


15. Postal Code Delivery Estimates

Customers can request a delivery estimate by providing their Canadian postal code.

Based on your postal code, our logistics team can provide:

  • Estimated delivery timeframe
  • Delivery availability
  • Recommended delivery method
  • Shipping estimate
  • Accessibility review
  • Available scheduling options

Delivery estimates are intended as planning tools and may change depending on weather, road conditions, inventory availability, or other operational factors.


16. Remote Area Deliveries

Target Box Container Sales proudly serves customers throughout Canada, including many remote and rural communities.

Deliveries to certain locations may require additional planning due to:

  • Limited road access
  • Ferry crossings
  • Northern highways
  • Seasonal road restrictions
  • Remote construction sites
  • Island communities
  • Mountainous terrain

Where additional transportation costs apply, they will be clearly disclosed before your order is confirmed.

No remote-area surcharge will be applied without your prior approval.


17. Site Preparation Requirements

Proper site preparation is essential to ensure a safe and successful delivery.

Before your scheduled delivery, customers should ensure:

  • The placement area is level and stable.
  • The ground is capable of supporting the combined weight of the delivery vehicle and container.
  • Access roads are clear and unobstructed.
  • Trees, overhead wires, and other obstacles have been addressed.
  • Adequate turning space is available.
  • Any required permits or approvals have been obtained.

For most deliveries, we recommend:

  • A minimum access width of approximately 12 feet (3.7 metres).
  • A minimum overhead clearance of approximately 14 feet (4.3 metres).
  • Straight approach distance suitable for the selected delivery vehicle.
  • A compacted gravel, concrete, asphalt, or other stable surface capable of supporting heavy equipment.

If you are unsure whether your site is suitable, our logistics team can help assess your delivery requirements before dispatch.

18. Delivery Access Requirements

To ensure a safe and efficient delivery, the delivery location must be accessible to our delivery vehicles and equipment.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that:

  • Roads leading to the property are suitable for heavy-duty trucks.
  • Driveways are stable and capable of supporting delivery vehicles.
  • Gates are unlocked and provide sufficient width.
  • There are no low bridges, overhead wires, tree branches, or other obstructions.
  • The delivery route allows safe entry, maneuvering, and exit.
  • The designated placement area is free of vehicles, equipment, debris, or other obstacles.

If access restrictions are known before delivery, customers should notify our logistics team as early as possible so appropriate arrangements can be made.

Failure to disclose access limitations may result in additional delivery charges or rescheduling.


19. Customer Responsibilities Before Delivery

Before your scheduled delivery date, you agree to:

  • Verify that your delivery address is accurate.
  • Confirm your contact information is current.
  • Ensure the delivery site is fully prepared.
  • Obtain any municipal permits, zoning approvals, or property permissions that may be required.
  • Ensure underground utilities have been properly identified where applicable.

In such cases, the customer may be responsible for reasonable costs associated with:

Ownership of the purchased container transfers to the customer once full payment has been received and the container has been successfully delivered to the agreed delivery location.

Risk of loss or damage transfers to the customer upon completion of delivery and acceptance of the container.

If delivery cannot be completed because the site is inaccessible or does not meet the agreed delivery requirements, risk may transfer once the delivery vehicle has arrived at the confirmed location, provided the inability to complete delivery is due to circumstances within the customer’s control.
