Get Your Shipping Container in Just 3-5 Days
FAQ
Before buying a shipping container, focus on key structural features: make sure there are no holes, the wooden floor is solid, and the doors open and seal properly. Surface rust is expected on used containers, but watch for deep corrosion or damage that could affect performance. Check the roof for weak spots that might impact water resistance.
Most customers inspect their container at the time of delivery. At StoreCan, we pre-inspect every unit and stand by its condition, so you can buy with confidence.
Yes, shipping containers are an excellent solution for secure, weatherproof storage at home or on your business property. They’re ideal for storing tools, equipment, furniture, seasonal items, and more. Built from durable steel, containers are wind and watertight, rodent-proof, and designed to withstand Canadian weather.
For best results, place your container on level ground such as a gravel pad, concrete blocks, or a paved surface. In many municipalities, no permit is needed for placing a container on private property, but it’s always best to check with your local bylaw office first.
We typically deliver shipping containers within 3 to 5 business days, depending on your location in Canada. Once your order is confirmed, our team moves quickly to coordinate delivery to your home, job site, or business. If you need your container sooner, just let us know in your quote request and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Prefer to handle your own transportation? Customers are also welcome to arrange pickups from of our depots.
New shipping containers, also known as one-trip containers, are in near-perfect condition with no rust, dents, or floor damage. They’re ideal for projects that require a clean appearance, such as container homes, offices, or retail spaces. Used containers are more affordable and may show signs of wear like surface rust or cosmetic dents, but they remain fully functional for storage, construction, or general-purpose use. If appearance isn’t critical, a high-quality used container is a cost-effective solution.

How Every Shipping Container Helps Reforest Canada
Canada loses thousands of hectares of forest every year. Wildfires, storms, and clear-cutting take a toll on our land. Trees clean the air, hold soil in place, protect wildlife, and help fight climate change. But planting trees takes time, effort, and the right technology.
For every shipping container we sell, we help plant trees across Canada. It’s one way we give back. When you buy a container for your project, you’re not just getting extra space or storage. You’re helping rebuild forests that support life and future generations. Our containers store your tools. Our trees store carbon. Together, they make a lasting impact.
Who Is Flash Forest?
Flash Forest is a Canadian startup with a big mission. Their goal is to plant over one billion trees using drones and emerging technology. That’s right. They fly special drones that fire pods of seeds into the ground, faster than we ever could by hand. They use science to plant the right trees in the right places.
They focus on native species. They care about the land. And they use real-time data to make sure the trees grow well and support local ecosystems. Flash Forest works with nature and technology side by side. StoreCan is proud to support their work. They’re changing how we plant trees and we’re helping them grow.
How It Works
When you buy a shipping container from StoreCan, part of your purchase goes to tree planting. We team up with Flash Forest to plant trees where Canada needs them most. That might be in areas most affected by wildfires or places losing forest cover fast.
Tree planting doesn’t happen all year round. It follows the right seasons and weather windows to make sure seeds grow strong. So your container order helps plant trees at the best time and in the best places.
What It Means for You
You’re helping rebuild forests right here in Canada. That means cleaner air, healthier land, and a future that lasts longer than steel. Shipping containers leave a footprint. But with every container you buy, you help balance that out with new trees. You give back to the land. You make a lasting mark on something that grows long after your project is done.
That’s a legacy worth leaving.
