RETURNS POLICY

SH Containers Limited accepts returns for all grades and sizes of shipping containers. Both defective and non-defective containers may be eligible for return under the conditions outlined below.
A return may be approved if:
a) The shipping container delivered is not the size, grade, or configuration originally ordered, as stated on your invoice.
b) The shipping container arrives with significant physical damage that affects its intended functionality. Any such damage must be inspected, reported, and clearly noted on the Delivery Order at the time of delivery. Failure to do so may result in the return request being declined.
c) The structural integrity of the shipping container does not meet the standards of the grade purchased.
All return requests must be submitted in writing within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery. Requests received after this period will not be accepted.
To initiate a return, customers should contact SH Containers Limited with their invoice number, photographs (where applicable), and a detailed explanation of the reason for the return. All approved returns are subject to inspection and authorization by SH Containers Limited before collection or replacement is arranged.

INSPECTION ON DELIVERY

To ensure your complete satisfaction with your purchase, all customers are required to inspect their shipping container thoroughly at the time of delivery. Please complete the following checks before accepting the container:
a) Carefully inspect both the exterior and interior of the container for any visible damage, defects, or signs of mishandling.
b) Verify that the container matches the size, grade, configuration, and specifications stated on your order confirmation or invoice.
c) If any damage, defects, or discrepancies are identified, take clear photographs immediately, notify the delivery driver, and ensure that all issues are accurately recorded on the Delivery Order before signing.
Failure to inspect the container at the time of delivery or to record any visible damage or discrepancies on the Delivery Order may affect your eligibility for a return, replacement, or refund, except where your rights are otherwise protected under applicable consumer protection laws.

RETURN PROCESS

To initiate a return, customers must follow the steps below:
a) Contact SH Containers Limited within 30 calendar days of the delivery date to report the issue. Please include a detailed description of the problem together with clear photographs of the container and the affected area(s).
b) Our team will assess your claim. Where necessary, we may request additional information, photographs, or arrange an inspection of the container before making a decision.
c) If the return is approved, the container must be returned in the same condition as it was delivered, except for the defect or damage that formed the basis of the approved claim. The container must not have been altered, modified, or subjected to misuse after delivery.
All return requests must be submitted in writing via email using our contact details. Please include your order number, delivery date, and a clear explanation of the reason for the return. Once your request has been reviewed and approved, SH Containers Limited will issue a Return Authorization (RA) Number together with instructions for returning the container. Returns received without an authorized RA Number may not be accepted.

NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS

The following shipping containers are not eligible for return:
a) Shipping containers that have been custom-built, modified, or manufactured to the buyer's specific requirements.
b) Shipping containers that have been damaged as a result of improper handling, misuse, negligence, or unsuitable storage after delivery.
c) Shipping containers that have been altered, repaired, modified, or customized by the buyer or any third party after delivery.
This policy does not affect any rights the buyer may have under applicable consumer protection laws where such rights cannot legally be excluded.

REFUND PROCESS

Once the returned shipping container has been received and successfully inspected, any approved refund will be processed less any applicable fees, including return shipping costs, collection charges, or restocking fees where applicable.
Refunds are typically processed within 2–3 business days after the inspection has been completed. Please note that while we process refunds promptly, payments made by credit or debit card may take additional time to appear in your account, depending on your card issuer or financial institution.

Refunds and Store Credits

Customers who choose to return an eligible item may elect to receive either a store credit or a refund, subject to the following conditions:
  • Store Credit: Customers who opt for a store credit, redeemable against a future purchase, will not be charged a restocking fee.
  • Refund: Customers who request a refund to their original payment method will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. This fee covers administrative expenses, order processing, inspection, and handling costs associated with the return.

Order Cancellation Policy

Customers may cancel their order within 24 hours of making payment. A 10% restocking fee will apply to cover customer acquisition, administrative, and payment processing costs.
Cancellation requests received more than 24 hours after payment will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. This higher fee covers the additional costs associated with administration, order processing, and the repositioning or allocation of the shipping container.
Any approved refund will be processed in accordance with our Refund Policy after the applicable restocking fee has been deducted.

Delivery Site Requirements

Please review our Delivery Guidelines carefully before your shipping container(s) are dispatched. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the delivery site is suitable and accessible for delivery.
If an order cannot be delivered due to site access restrictions or an unsuitable delivery location, all applicable charges may apply, including but not limited to restocking, order cancellation, trucking, depot storage, redelivery and bank processing fees.
To avoid unnecessary delays and additional costs, we strongly recommend measuring the delivery site in advance to ensure there is sufficient space and access for your shipping container(s) and the delivery vehicle.
