Accepted payment methods
All prices and invoices are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Bank payment details are issued on your invoice. Cleared funds are required before a container is dispatched.
When payment is taken
Placing an order on this website creates an order record; it does not complete the sale. The container price and the flat $550 delivery charge are both shown at checkout, so you see the total before you order. We then confirm availability, add applicable GST/QST or HST, and email an invoice. Payment is only requested once you have that invoice.
Deposits
For custom and modified builds we may take a deposit of up to 50% to begin fabrication, with the balance due before dispatch. Deposit terms are set out on your invoice and agreed in writing before work starts.
Pricing and taxes
Product prices on this website are in Canadian dollars and are for the container only. Delivery is charged at a flat $550 within our service area and is added at checkout. Prices exclude site preparation, permits and applicable sales taxes. GST and QST, or HST for deliveries outside Quebec, are calculated on both the container and the delivery charge, and shown on your invoice — see our Sales Tax Policy. Prices are subject to change and are confirmed at the point we issue your invoice.
Protect yourself from payment fraud
Container fraud is common in this industry. Please read this before sending money to anyone, including us:
- Our banking details do not change mid-order. If you receive an email claiming our account details have changed, do not act on it — telephone us to verify.
- We will never ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, money order or a peer-to-peer payment app.
- Always verify payment instructions by telephone using the number published on this site, not a number given in an email.
- Our only email domain is @gtcontainerservices.ca.
- Interac e-Transfers should be sent only to the address printed on your invoice, and only after you have verified it by phone.
Invoices and receipts
You receive an itemised invoice before payment and a receipt once funds clear. Both show our GST/HST registration number, the container, its grade, the delivery address and the agreed freight cost.
Failed or reversed payments
Where a payment is returned, reversed or fails to clear, the order is held and the container is returned to available stock. Any bank charges we incur as a result may be passed on.
