Shipping container delivery in Virginia
We deliver throughout Virginia, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Richmond, Chesapeake and Arlington. Most containers arrive on a tilt-bed truck, which slides the container straight onto your prepared spot. A 20ft container needs about 60ft of straight-line clearance and a 40ft needs about 100ft. Where access is tight, we can arrange a crane. Ground should be firm and level; gravel, concrete blocks or railroad ties all work well. See our shipping policy for details.
Climate tips for containers in Virginia
Humidity can cause condensation inside bare steel, so we recommend vents, an anti-condensation coating or an insulated container for stored furniture, paper or electronics. Near the coast, choose a well-painted Corten steel container and touch up scratches quickly to slow salt-air corrosion.
