Products and Services

Penn State Containers sells new, used, and specialty shipping containers with delivery services to customers in Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, Southern Tier of NY, Mid-Hudson Valley, and New Jersey.

All containers are sold as described. Used containers are inspected and graded for condition. We accurately represent the condition of all products and will disclose any known defects or issues.

Pricing and Payment

• All prices are quoted in US dollars and are subject to change without notice until a sales agreement is finalized
• Quotes are valid for the time period specified (typically 7 days unless otherwise noted)
• Delivery fees are calculated based on distance and site accessibility
• Payment terms will be agreed upon at the time of purchase

Delivery Terms

Delivery of shipping containers requires:

• A suitable delivery location with adequate space and ground conditions for placement
• Clear access for delivery trucks (typically requires 12 feet of width and overhead clearance)
• Customer responsibility for obtaining any necessary permits or permissions
• Customer presence or authorized representative at delivery

Delivery dates are estimates and may be affected by weather, equipment availability, or other factors beyond our control. We will communicate any delays as soon as possible.

Inspection and Acceptance

Customers are encouraged to inspect containers upon delivery. Any concerns about condition should be noted at the time of delivery. Claims for damage or defects not noted at delivery must be reported within 48 hours of delivery.
