Terms of use

Using this site

By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. The site is intended for businesses and individuals buying or selling plastic crates, totes and bulk containers for commercial use. You agree to use it lawfully, to send accurate information in any request, and not to interfere with its operation, attempt to gain access to systems you are not authorised to use, or submit content that is false, abusive or infringes someone else's rights.

When you submit a request, you confirm that the details are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are entitled to share them. If you offer containers for sale, you confirm that you own them or are authorised to sell them, that the condition and prior contents you describe are honest, and that you have disclosed any hazardous material they held. Pooled or rented equipment cannot be offered without the owner's written release.

You allow us to use the photos, descriptions and files you send in order to answer the request, including showing them to a prospective buyer, seller, refurbisher or carrier for that transaction.

Quotes and offers

A quote or offer from us is an invitation to discuss a transaction. It is not binding on either side until the essential terms, including the containers, their condition, the quantity, the price, freight, payment and timing, have been agreed in writing by both parties. Until then, either side may change or withdraw it.

Quotes are based on the information you give us and on availability and freight rates at the time. If that information turns out to be incomplete or inaccurate, or if a lot is sold or a carrier rate changes before terms are agreed, the quote may change. Every quote states how long its figures are intended to hold. Once written terms are agreed, those terms govern the transaction and take priority over anything on this site.

Specifications and descriptions

Dimensions, capacities, stacking limits, trailer counts and similar figures on this site are drawn from manufacturers' published sheets and other public sources, linked where they are used. We give them as ranges or typical values because makers differ, models change, and sheets sometimes contradict themselves. They are a guide for planning, not a guarantee about any particular container.

Before you rely on a figure for a load, a stack or a safety decision, confirm it against the current sheet for the exact model, and follow the maker's instructions for use. For used and refurbished units, condition grades describe what we or the seller observed and photographed; they are a fair description, not a warranty of future performance.

Nothing on this site is a statement that a container is suitable for contact with food or for any regulated use. Suitability depends on the maker's material documents and the container's history, which you should review yourself.

Freight, delivery and inspection

Freight is quoted per load and arranged with independent carriers. Delivery windows are estimates passed on from those carriers. Who bears the risk of loss in transit, and when ownership passes, are set in the written terms for each transaction.

Inspect containers when they arrive. Count them against the bill of lading, look for obvious damage, and note any shortage or damage on the delivery receipt before the driver leaves, then send photos to us promptly. Claims that are not noted at delivery are much harder to pursue with a carrier. The site, its pages and its tools may occasionally be unavailable or contain errors, and nothing here represents that a particular container is in stock.

Tools and third-party information

Calculators such as Trailer Fill produce estimates from assumptions stated on their pages. They are offered for convenience and may differ from real loads. Statistics about states and industries come from government, trade and reference sources that we link and date; we do not control those sources and cannot promise they are complete, current or correct.

Information from third parties, including maker specifications, public data and links to other websites, is provided as-is, without any warranty, express or implied, of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. Links are for reference and do not mean we endorse the linked site or its owner.

Content and trademarks

The text, layout and original material on this site belong to us. You may read, print and share pages for your own business use, such as passing a guide to a colleague, but you may not copy the site in bulk, republish it as your own, or use automated tools to scrape it. Product and company names mentioned on the site belong to their owners and are used only to identify the products being described. Framing these pages inside another website, or presenting our figures as an endorsement of a product or seller, needs our written permission first.

Liability, changes and governing terms

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from use of the site, its tools or its information, including lost profits or delays. Our responsibility for any transaction is set by the written terms agreed for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows the current version, and continued use of the site means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state named in any written agreement between us, and disputes about a transaction are handled as that agreement provides. If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. Questions go to info@plasticcratesforsale.com.
