To order a container, you can give us call at 519-872-8137 or send us an e-mail at info@xpressstorage.ca. Once your order has been placed, it will take up to 72 hours to deliver the container to you. An estimate of delivery time and day will be sent to you over e-mail.
We try our best to keep the container as close to level as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that items will not move during transport. To help keep items in their position, there are hooks inside the container, where you can tie things against the wall to prevent movement. You are responsible for providing the straps.
Yes, the maximum weight allowed inside a container is 5,000 pounds.

Yes, your container can easily fit into one parking space, but your driver will need some extra room to deliver and pick it up. Please contact your property manager to ensure a container is permitted to stay for a period of time in the parking spot. Any fees or fines received from placing a container in a spot that is not permitted is the user's responsibility.
No, you don't have to be present for your container delivery. The driver will use your delivery instructions to place your container and will also contact you with any questions or concerns. We recommend being available if there are obstructions or if you foresee the delivery being difficult.
We try our best to deliver a container within 72 hours of your request. However, service dates are subject to availability and this may not always be achievable. Advance notice is strongly recommended.
We use a hydraulic lift system designed to position the container safely on your driveway. With placement, we do put at least 1 wooden block under each corner, so the container does not directly sit on your driveway. For new driveways, check with your builder or developer before scheduling a placement. We are unable to determine the integrity of any paved surface, so you should always check for existing cracks and request placement away from that area.
When you park your car on the incline with the nose of your vehicle facing uphill, and you open your car door all the way, does it stay open? If so, we should be able to place the container exactly where you would like; however, if it doesn’t, it may be too steep. For driveways with a slight incline, we do add additional pieces of wood (a maximum of 4 pieces) underneath it to try and put it level.
