Payment & Billing Policy

At Arcelor Containers, we facilitate high-value transactions for industrial equipment. To ensure the security of both the buyer and the seller, we adhere to a strict financial protocol.

Currency and Pricing

All prices are listed in [Insert Currency, e.g., USD] unless otherwise specified. The total price at checkout includes the base price of the unit and any selected modifications. Shipping fees and sales tax are calculated based on the delivery destination and will be itemized on your final invoice.

Accepted Methods of Payment

To accommodate different business needs, we accept the following:

  • Credit and Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. (Subject to a daily limit and potential fraud verification).

  • ACH Bank Transfers: Preferred for domestic business-to-business transactions.

  • Wire Transfers: Mandatory for international orders and recommended for orders exceeding $10,000 to ensure immediate processing.

  • Financing: If you are using a third-party equipment financier, Arcelor Containers must receive a signed “Notice of Acceptance” or “Proof of Funding” before the equipment is released for transport.

Payment Verification and Security

Given the high resale value of shipping containers, we take fraud prevention seriously.

  • Identity Verification: For high-value or “One-Trip” container orders, we may require a copy of a government-issued ID or a utility bill matching the billing address.

  • Security: We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your payment information. We do not store credit card details on our local servers.

Billing for Custom Modifications

Orders involving structural modifications (e.g., installing windows, HVAC, insulation, or painting) follow a staggered payment schedule:

  • 50% Commitment Deposit: Required to secure the raw container and begin fabrication. This deposit is non-refundable.

  • 50% Balance Payment: Due upon completion of the modification and prior to the unit being loaded onto the delivery vehicle.

Late Payments and Storage Fees

If an order is paid for but the customer requests a delay in delivery exceeding 14 days, Arcelor Containers reserves the right to charge a Storage Fee (typically $15–$25 per day, per unit) to cover depot space costs. If a balance remains unpaid for more than 30 days after the invoice due date, the order may be cancelled, and the deposit forfeited.

Taxes and Duties

Purchasers are responsible for all applicable sales, use, or value-added taxes. If you are tax-exempt, you must provide a valid certificate before payment is processed. For international sales, the purchaser is responsible for all import duties, brokerage fees, and customs clearance costs.
