Custom-modified containers (offices, kiosks, homes, pools, retail spaces, etc.) require a deposit before fabrication begins:
| Stage | Amount | When Due | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Deposit | 50% of total project cost | Upon approval of custom quote | Yes — if fabrication has not started. Minus 10% admin fee. |
| Final Balance | Remaining 50% | Upon completion, before delivery | N/A — paid for completed work |
Once fabrication has begun on your custom container, the 50% deposit is non-refundable as it covers materials purchased and labor already committed to your project. Please ensure all specifications, dimensions, features, and finishes are finalized and approved before submitting your deposit. Change orders after fabrication starts may incur additional costs and timeline extensions.
Upon completion of your custom container, we will:
For qualifying businesses placing bulk orders, we offer NET 30 payment terms — allowing you to receive your containers now and pay within 30 days of the invoice date.
Invoices not paid within 30 days of the invoice date are subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% annually) on the outstanding balance. Accounts overdue by more than 60 days may have their NET 30 terms suspended, future orders held, and the outstanding balance referred to a collection agency. The Buyer is responsible for all collection costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
The following consequences apply to late or non-payment situations:
| Situation | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Payment declined at checkout | Order is not processed. You are notified and may retry with a different payment method within 48 hours. |
| Wire transfer not received within 5 business days | Order is held. We contact you to confirm transfer status. Order cancelled after 10 business days without payment. |
| NET 30 — 1 to 30 days late | 1.5% monthly late fee applied. Reminder notice sent. NET 30 privileges under review. |
| NET 30 — 31 to 60 days late | Additional late fees applied. NET 30 terms suspended. Future orders require prepayment. |
| NET 30 — 60+ days overdue | Account referred to collection agency. Buyer responsible for all collection costs and attorneys' fees. |
| Custom order — final balance not paid | Container held at depot. Storage fees of $25/day apply after 14-day grace period. Container may be sold after 90 days. |
If the final 50% balance for a completed custom container is not paid within 14 days of the completion notice, a storage fee of $25 per day will apply. If the balance remains unpaid for 90 calendar days, the Seller reserves the right to sell the container to recover costs. The initial 50% deposit will not be refunded in this scenario, and any remaining balance after the sale will be invoiced to the Buyer.
Refunds are processed in accordance with our Refund Policy. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method:
| Payment Method | Refund Method | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|
| Credit/Debit Card | Refund to original card | 5–10 business days |
| PayPal | Refund to PayPal account | 3–5 business days |
| Bank Wire / ACH | Wire transfer to original account | 10–15 business days |
| Cash on Delivery | Check mailed or wire transfer | 10–15 business days |
| Financing / Loan | Refund to lending partner | 15–20 business days |

Apex Container Group collects sales tax on orders shipped to U.S. states where we have a tax obligation (nexus) as required by applicable state and local law.
If you are a tax-exempt organization (government entity, non-profit, qualified reseller, etc.), you may purchase tax-free by providing a valid tax exemption or resale certificate before placing your order.
For orders shipped to European Union member states, the following additional charges may apply and are the buyer's responsibility:
| Charge | Who Pays | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Import Duty | Buyer | Charged by the destination country's customs authority. Rates vary by country and product classification (HS code). |
| Value Added Tax (VAT) | Buyer | VAT rates vary by EU country (typically 17–27%). Charged on the declared value of the container plus import duty. |
| Customs Brokerage Fees | Buyer | Fees charged by the customs broker who processes your import documentation. Our EU logistics partners can recommend local brokers. |
| Port Handling Fees | Buyer (if applicable) | Some ports charge handling or terminal fees. These are typically included in our EU delivery quote but may vary. |
Import duties, VAT, and customs fees are not included in Apex Container Group's quoted prices and are not controlled by us. These charges are set by your country's customs authority. We strongly recommend consulting with a local customs broker in your country before purchasing to understand the total landed cost of your container. We provide all required export documentation including Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Certificate of Origin.
