Payment Policy

ContainerVista Payment Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At ContainerVista, we want the payment process to be clear, secure, and easy to understand.

This Payment Policy explains how payments may be accepted, how payment verification works, when an order becomes confirmed, and what customers should know before sending funds.

Unless otherwise stated on an invoice or written quotation, prices and transactions are stated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

Accepted Payment Methods

Available payment methods may depend on the product, order value, customer type, and transaction.

ContainerVista may accept one or more of the following payment methods for eligible orders.

Bank Wire Transfer

Bank wire transfers may be accepted for shipping containers, commercial equipment, bulk orders, and other eligible purchases.

When wire payment is approved, payment instructions will be provided through an authorized ContainerVista invoice or payment communication.

Before sending a wire transfer, verify:

  • Business name

  • Invoice number

  • Order amount

  • Bank details

  • Payment reference

  • Delivery information

Never send funds to payment details that do not match the instructions provided for your order.

ACH Bank Transfer

ACH bank transfer may be available for certain orders.

If ACH is available, the required instructions will be provided after the applicable order or quotation has been reviewed.

Do not send an ACH payment using account details obtained from an unofficial source.

Credit and Debit Cards

Credit or debit card payments may be available for eligible purchases.

Card transactions may be subject to:

  • Payment authorization

  • Fraud screening

  • Billing verification

  • Transaction limits

  • Processor requirements

Availability can vary by order.

Business Purchase Orders

Qualified commercial, institutional, or business customers may request purchase-order arrangements.

A purchase order does not automatically create credit terms.

Any deferred-payment arrangement, credit term, or special commercial payment agreement must be approved in writing before it becomes effective.

How the Payment Process Works

Our purchasing process is designed to give customers clear documentation before payment and delivery.

Step 1 — Select Your Product

Browse our available products and review the applicable product description.

Pay particular attention to:

  • Product size

  • Condition

  • Specifications

  • Included equipment

  • Modifications

  • Price

  • Delivery information

Used equipment can vary from one unit to another, so the exact product listing should be reviewed carefully.

Step 2 — Request a Quote or Place an Order

Customers may purchase through the website where available or request a quote for assistance with a specific product, delivery location, or larger order.

For delivery quotations, providing the correct ZIP code and site information can help us review the applicable logistics.

Step 3 — Review Your Invoice

Where applicable, ContainerVista may provide an invoice or written order summary showing information such as:

  • Product

  • Quantity

  • Agreed price

  • Delivery charge

  • Applicable taxes or fees

  • Total amount due

  • Payment instructions

Review all details carefully before submitting payment.

Step 4 — Complete the Payment

Use only the approved payment method and instructions supplied for your transaction.

Include the correct invoice or order reference when requested.

Step 5 — Payment Verification

Payments may need to be received, cleared, and verified before an order is released for the next stage of processing.

Additional verification may be required for certain transactions.

Step 6 — Order and Delivery Processing

After applicable payment and order checks have been completed, delivery or collection arrangements can proceed according to the order terms.

For additional delivery information, review our Shipping Policy.

Payment Timing

Unless different terms have been agreed to in writing, required payment must be completed according to the invoice or order terms before the product is released for delivery.

Special payment terms may apply to approved commercial orders.

Do not assume that terms offered on one order automatically apply to future purchases.

Currency

Prices displayed on ContainerVista are generally stated in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise identified.

If a payment involves currency conversion by a bank, card issuer, or payment provider, that provider may apply its own exchange rate or fees.

Order Confirmation

Submitting payment does not necessarily mean an order has been released for dispatch.

An order may still require:

  • Payment verification

  • Product availability confirmation

  • Customer verification

  • Delivery review

  • Order-detail confirmation

  • Fraud screening

An electronic bank or card receipt only confirms that a transaction was initiated or processed by the applicable financial service. It does not replace ContainerVista’s final order confirmation.

Payment Security

ContainerVista encourages customers to take reasonable precautions when sending payments.

Use Authorized Payment Instructions

Only use payment instructions supplied through the authorized ContainerVista purchasing process.

If payment instructions change unexpectedly, verify them before transferring funds.

Verify Before Sending a Wire

Wire-transfer fraud can involve altered invoices or fraudulent payment details.

Before sending a significant wire or ACH payment, verify the instructions through an official ContainerVista communication channel.

You can use our Contact Us page if you need to confirm an order or payment instruction.

Protect Your Financial Information

ContainerVista should never need your:

  • Online banking password

  • Card PIN

  • Security-question answers

  • Full banking login credentials

  • Email password

Do not send this information through email, text, social media, or website chat.

Important Payment Fraud Warning

Be cautious if you receive unexpected instructions asking you to:

  • Send money to a different account

  • Pay an individual instead of the named business

  • Divide one invoice among unrelated recipients

  • Provide banking login details

  • Ignore previously issued payment instructions

  • Send additional funds without supporting order documentation

If payment instructions seem unusual, stop and verify the information through our official Contact page before sending funds.

ContainerVista cannot guarantee recovery of money voluntarily sent to a fraudulent or unauthorized account outside the approved payment process.

Payment Verification

Some transactions may require additional verification.

Depending on the order, we may review:

  • Customer name

  • Billing information

  • Delivery address

  • Payment confirmation

  • Transaction reference

  • Product details

  • Commercial-account information

  • Order history

Additional documentation may be requested when reasonably necessary to confirm a transaction.

Payment Delays

A delayed payment can affect the order.

Possible effects include:

  • Product availability changing

  • Delivery scheduling being delayed

  • Quote expiration

  • Freight costs changing

  • Promotional pricing expiring

  • Order processing being paused

If an invoice includes a payment deadline, customers should complete payment within that period to help preserve the agreed order terms.

Product Availability Before Payment

Many of the products listed by ContainerVista are individual or limited-quantity units.

This can be especially important for:

  • Used shipping containers

  • Modified containers

  • Refrigerated containers

  • Trailers

  • Ice vending machines

  • Specialized commercial equipment

If payment is delayed, another customer may purchase a limited-availability product.

Availability should therefore be confirmed when you are ready to complete an order.

Failed or Declined Payments

If a card, ACH transfer, wire transfer, or other approved payment does not complete successfully, the order may remain unpaid.

Common reasons can include:

  • Bank rejection

  • Incorrect payment information

  • Card authorization failure

  • Transaction limits

  • Fraud screening

  • Insufficient funds

If a payment fails, contact ContainerVista before attempting an alternative payment method.

Overpayments

If you believe you have paid more than the amount stated on your invoice, contact ContainerVista promptly.

Do not send additional transactions in an attempt to correct an overpayment without first confirming the account status.

Any verified overpayment will be reviewed according to the applicable transaction and order terms.

Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the specific order, its status, and the applicable policy.

Customers should review our Return & Refund Policy before completing a purchase.

Where a refund is approved, processing time can depend on:

  • Original payment method

  • Bank or payment provider

  • Transaction status

  • Order status

  • Cancellation timing

  • Applicable return terms

The time when a refund becomes visible in a customer’s account may also depend on the financial institution.

Cancellations

Cancellation rights can depend on:

  • Whether payment has been processed

  • Whether delivery has been scheduled

  • Whether transportation has begun

  • Whether modifications have started

  • Whether the product was special order

  • The terms shown on the applicable invoice

Review the applicable order terms and Return & Refund Policy before requesting cancellation.

Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you believe there is a billing or order issue, please contact ContainerVista first so the transaction can be reviewed.

Provide relevant information such as:

  • Customer name

  • Order number

  • Invoice number

  • Payment date

  • Transaction amount

  • Description of the issue

ContainerVista may provide transaction, invoice, delivery, and order documentation when responding to a legitimate payment dispute.

Suspected unauthorized transactions should also be reported to the customer’s bank or card provider as soon as possible.

Commercial and Bulk Orders

Customers purchasing multiple containers or commercial equipment may request a custom quote.

Larger orders may involve different:

  • Pricing

  • Payment schedules

  • Freight arrangements

  • Documentation

  • Lead times

  • Purchase-order requirements

Any special commercial payment terms should be documented in writing.

Deposits and Partial Payments

Some orders may be eligible for deposit or staged-payment arrangements when specifically agreed to in writing.

A customer should not assume that a partial payment is permitted unless the invoice or written agreement clearly states:

  • Deposit amount

  • Remaining balance

  • Payment deadline

  • Delivery conditions

  • Cancellation terms

Where no staged-payment agreement exists, the payment terms shown on the invoice apply.

Pricing Accuracy

Before sending payment, review the current invoice or order confirmation.

Important details include:

  • Product name

  • Product condition

  • Size

  • Quantity

  • Unit price

  • Delivery cost

  • Tax

  • Additional fees

  • Total amount due

Website prices can change because of inventory, product condition, freight costs, or market conditions.

The applicable invoice or confirmed order should identify the amount due for the transaction.

Delivery Charges

Delivery charges can vary according to factors such as:

  • Destination

  • Product size

  • Product weight

  • Pickup location

  • Truck requirements

  • Site access

  • Unloading method

A product price should not automatically be assumed to include delivery unless the applicable listing, quote, or invoice says so.

Review our Shipping Policy for additional information.

Taxes and Fees

Applicable taxes or fees may depend on the order and delivery location.

Where applicable, they may appear during checkout, on a quotation, or on the final invoice.

Customers responsible for tax-exempt purchases should provide any required documentation before the transaction is finalized.

Quotes and Price Validity

A quotation may remain valid only for the period stated on the quote.

Pricing can change because of:

  • Inventory availability

  • Freight rates

  • Product availability

  • Supplier costs

  • Market conditions

If a quote expires before payment is received, ContainerVista may need to provide an updated quotation.

Payment Responsibilities

Before sending funds, the customer is responsible for reviewing:

  • Product description

  • Product condition

  • Quantity

  • Delivery address

  • Billing details

  • Price

  • Freight charge

  • Payment terms

Contact us before paying if any information appears incorrect.
