Storage Container FAQs
Yes. Just complete our online quote form and a Mini Warehousing Inc. representative will contact you to finalize the details and make sure you get what you want when you need it.
Our qualified representatives know what questions to ask to help you determine your best storage solution. They will ask you about what you need to store, how much of it, how long you will need a storage unit, and what options you might need. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you!
Your representative can provide a definite delivery day and time frame when you place the order.
We require that you or a designated employee be present when we make the delivery to identify the correct place to park the unit on your property and verify the condition of the unit.
The only thing you need to worry about is that the surface is fairly level, smooth, and firm. We can deliver on dirt or grass as long as it is not too soft or wet. We can also deliver on cement, pavement, asphalt, or gravel. If necessary, we can provide 2×10, 4×4 or 6×6 hard wood timbers to place under the unit to mitigate sinking into soft ground. (Additional charges may apply) If ground conditions at your location are soft, please inform your representative so we can discuss preparations and alternatives.
Transportation costs vary depending on your location and the length of time commitment involved. Your representative can provide an exact quote when you place your order.
We bill at the beginning of each calendar month and we expect to be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. Alternatively, we can arrange for automatic billing on your Visa, MasterCard or American Express each month.
Our storage containers are made of heavy duty steel which is very difficult to cut through. Most units have dual locking cam bars on each door so that you can put up to four padlocks on each container. In addition, many of our storage units feature a steel lock box on the doors where a High Security Lock, available from Mini Warehousing, can be placed inside the steel box to protect from tampering.
Virtually any kind of configuration is possible. Popular modifications include interior shelving, extra security features, extra venting, interior lighting, side doors, and doors on both ends of the unit. Your representative can assess your needs and provide a quote on modifications to suit your time and budget needs.
Once we can determine your needs and schedule the delivery of the appropriate unit(s), we will fax you a rental agreement spelling out the details of the transaction.
With new customers, we collect the transportation cost and 3 month’s rent COD at the time of delivery. Or instead, we can make the initial charge on your Visa or MasterCard. After the delivery, we will mail monthly invoices with Net 30 Day payment terms. For our residential customers, we require a major CC to be on file for unpaid charges.
Sale transactions are done on a COD basis with a credit card, cashier’s check, money order, or company check.
No, insurance is not required. The lessee is responsible for any damages to the container while on rent.
