Can I pick the color of my unit?
If the container is being direct delivered to you from a depot nearest you we have no control over color. When we pick up at a depot the units are first off the stack.
If you are buying from our lot in Missouri you are welcome to pick which unit you like out of our supply.
Do Containers Condensate?
Yes, Shipping containers do condensate.
There are some variables on if they will condensate or how bad they will condensate. Depending on the humidity of your area will play a factor on this as well. We recommend putting your unit in a shaded area. You can also place condensation bags or buckets to help draw the condensation away from your belongings. You can also add extra venting to help with condensation. We always recommend covering your valuables or putting stuff in tubs.
