I have quotes from Brytor, will see how it all stacks up, figuratively speaking. It was noted that in Vancouver there is no need for temperature controlled units, according to the lady I spoke with, so maybe it depends on locality?

Siouxie - wasn't withabix saying that things were negotiable with TR?

I believe he said 'everything is negotiable' as a generalisation, not specifically TR. I just found it interesting that the company website gives different information from that given to Withabix, I wasn't suggesting he wasn't told that.

You don't think that big shipping company will use the opportunity to charge you demurrage whether they need the can to send somewhere else or not? Because assuredly they will.

Shipping containers used for storage purposes are generally older units, no longer certified for transportation use.

Correct.

All shipping lines quote their demurrage and detention charges on their website.

Some companies use decommissioned containers as storage units, this would be a lot cheaper than using the type of facility we have.

Where do you think BigSteelBox get theirs from?

I think BigSteelBox's rental containers are all new. They sell used ones, but when you look on their website they list their rentals as new.
