Standard delivery is by tilt-bed truck, which slides the container gently onto level ground. Estimated arrival is typically 4–10 business days from order. Remote areas or custom builds may add lead time — we confirm an exact window before every dispatch.
Delivery & site access
Free freight covers delivery to any address in the continental United States. You'll receive tracking and a scheduled delivery window once your unit ships. Orders paid by bank wire/ACH ship once funds clear.
To place a container by tilt-bed, please make sure your site is ready:
- Level, firm ground (gravel, concrete or compacted dirt)
- Roughly 100 ft of straight clearance for the truck to back in and slide the unit off
- At least 14 ft of overhead clearance (no low branches or power lines)
- Clear access for a truck & trailer up to 70 ft long
If your site needs a crane or precise positioning, choose white-glove placement at checkout.

Inspection, risk & damage claims
Title and risk pass to the buyer on delivery. Inspect your container on arrival and note any transit damage on the driver's delivery receipt before signing. Photos and a same-day email to orders@llcontainers.com are essential for any freight-damage claim.
