Payment Policy | Container Sales Co.

Payment Policy

Due to the nature, size, and value of the equipment we supply, all payments are handled through secure, verified methods designed to protect both our customers and our company.

This policy explains the accepted payment options, processing requirements, and verification standards for purchases made within the United States.

1 Accepted Payment Methods

1. Bank Wire Transfer (Preferred for High-Value Orders)

Bank wire transfers are the preferred payment method for most container and equipment purchases.

Why this method is recommended:

  • Secure and direct transfer of funds
  • Suitable for high-value transactions
  • No percentage-based processing limits
  • Reduced risk of payment reversals

Key Notes:

  • Domestic U.S. wire instructions are provided on the official invoice
  • Orders are released for processing once funds are received and cleared
  • Customers are responsible for any bank-imposed wire fees
Wire transfers are commonly required for orders exceeding standard card processing thresholds.
2. ACH (Electronic Bank Transfer)

ACH transfers are accepted by request for approved customers.

Key Notes:

  • Typically clears within 1–3 business days
  • Subject to internal verification
  • Orders are released once funds have fully cleared
ACH is often used by corporate, institutional, and repeat customers.
3. Credit & Debit Cards (Limited Use)

We accept major credit and debit cards, including:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover

Important Conditions:

  • Card payments may be subject to transaction limits
  • Large orders may require partial card payment with balance settled via wire or ACH
  • Additional verification may be required for fraud prevention
Due to processing fees and chargeback exposure, card payments are generally reserved for smaller-value transactions or deposits.
4. Certified Funds

By prior arrangement, we may accept:

  • Cashier’s checks
  • Certified bank checks

Conditions:

  • Must be issued by a recognized U.S. financial institution
  • Funds must clear before equipment is released
  • Personal or standard business checks are not accepted unless pre-approved

2 Payment Timing & Order Processing

  • Full payment is required before shipment or pickup
  • Orders are processed only after payment confirmation
  • Delivery scheduling begins once payment is cleared
We do not offer Cash on Delivery (COD) due to the nature of freight logistics and equipment value.

3 Verification & Fraud Prevention

To protect all parties involved, we may request additional verification, including:

  • Government-issued photo identification
  • Business verification documents (for corporate buyers)
  • Confirmation of billing and delivery details
This is standard practice for high-value equipment transactions and helps prevent unauthorized payments or delivery disputes.

4 Pricing, Taxes & Currency

  • All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD)
  • Applicable sales tax is calculated based on delivery location and legal requirements
  • Tax exemption documentation must be provided before payment, where applicable
Invoices issued reflect the final agreed purchase price and delivery terms.

5 Payment Disputes & Chargebacks

Customers are encouraged to contact us directly with any billing questions or concerns.

Initiating chargebacks without prior communication may result in:

  • Order delays
  • Suspension of future purchasing privileges
Our goal is to resolve payment-related matters professionally and transparently, without escalation.
