How long does it take from order to delivery?

The week long average, and where it comes from

A week is not a marketing line. It is the average the yard actually runs, across drops that range from a few miles up the road to the far edge of the free zone. Some weeks run faster because a stocked box and a ready driveway line up. Others slide because the ground is still soaked from a wet stretch. A week is the middle of that range, not a guarantee stamped on your order.

One thing the average does not include is your quote. We tell you the price the same day you call. The date follows once we have seen the site. What takes the week is the truck rolling, not the paperwork.

Stocked sizes move at that pace, specialty sizes do not

Twenty and forty foot containers are what sits on our lot, and those are the sizes the week long average describes. Ask about a ten footer, a twenty foot high-cube, a forty five foot high-cube, a double door or an open side unit, and the timeline changes, because we source those to order rather than keep them stocked.

• Twenty and forty foot: usually delivered inside about a week
• Ten foot, high-cube and specialty sizes: sourced to order, timeline set once we find the unit
• Any size, past the free zone: same schedule, quoted trip cost added

A ready drop spot moves your date more than a rushed order does

Two orders placed the same morning can land on different weeks, and the difference is almost never the paperwork. It is whether the drop spot is ready for a loaded truck the day we can send one.

• Clear, straight access from the road to the spot
• Ground that is firm and dry, not soft from recent rain
• The exact spot marked and door direction already decided
• A couple of phone photos sent ahead so we can confirm fit before dispatch
• A phone number that gets answered when the driver calls

Handle those before you book and there is a real chance your delivery beats the average instead of sitting at the back of it.

Past seventy five miles, the schedule holds, the cost changes

Delivery inside seventy five road miles of our Woodlawn yard is free and runs on the normal weekly schedule. Beyond that ring we still run trucks out across Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina, just at a trip rate we quote up front. Distance changes the number on your invoice, not how soon a truck can get moving.

How to land the earliest date on the board

1. Call or request a quote so you get a real price the same day.
2. Tell us your town so we can confirm the free zone and the driving distance.
3. Prep the site before you confirm, not after: clear the path, firm up the ground.
4. Text a couple of photos of the driveway and the exact spot.
5. Keep your phone on you once a date is set. The driver's call is the last check before he loads.
