2. Payment Schedule
For standard in-stock containers:

- Deposit Option — Some custom or modified orders accept a 30% non-refundable deposit, with the balance due before delivery
3. Quotes & Pricing
- Written quotes are valid for 7 calendar days from the date of issuance
- Prices are subject to change without notice due to steel market fluctuations, freight cost changes, and inventory turnover
- All prices include the container as described — taxes and delivery are itemized separately on every quote
4. Sales Tax
Sales tax is collected as required by federal, state, and local law. See our Sales Tax Policy for full details on which states and jurisdictions apply.
5. Deposits & Non-Refundable Fees
- Standard order deposits are fully refundable until the unit is dispatched
- Custom modification deposits (windows, doors, electrical, paint, insulation) are non-refundable once modifications begin, as work is custom-fabricated
6. Late Payments & Storage Fees
If a container is held at our depot at the buyer's request after the agreed dispatch date:
- First 7 days: Free storage
- Day 8 onward: $25 per day storage fee until dispatch
If full payment is not received within 30 days of order confirmation, the order may be cancelled and any non-refundable deposits forfeited.
7. Financing Options
We work with third-party financing partners offering:
- Equipment financing for businesses
- Personal installment loans for residential buyers
- Lease-to-own options on select units
Financing approval is provided directly by the third-party lender. United States Container Express does not extend credit directly and is not responsible for the terms of any third-party loan agreement.

A formal invoice and paid receipt are emailed within 24 hours of payment clearance. Tax documents are available on request to sales@usaconex.com.
10. Fraud Prevention
To protect our customers, we may request:

All payment data is processed through PCI-DSS compliant gateways. United States Container Express does not store credit card numbers on our servers.
11. Disputes & Chargebacks
If you believe a charge is incorrect, please contact sales@usaconex.com or +1 (727) 699-2766 before initiating a chargeback. Most billing issues can be resolved within 1 business day. Filing a chargeback without first contacting us may delay resolution.
