As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely.

Watch: Tatyana Ali Talks Exciting Return to Bel-Air as a Teacher
Ashley Banks is back in Bel-Air—but in a whole new light.
More than three decades after becoming a household name on the beloved '90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, original star Tatyana Ali is returning to the franchise on season two of Peacock's dramatic reimagining of the series.
"I was really excited," the 44-year-old exclusively told E! News of the opportunity. "I've always seen Bel-Air as it's own show, not at all a reboot of Fresh Prince. It's its own world, it's a drama. When it came in, the offer, I really saw it as an offer for any other job. I was like, 'That's exciting, but let me read it and let me see.'"
Luckily for fans, Ali adored the script and jumped at the chance to play a new role as a teacher in the world of Bel-Air.
"I loved the way it was written," she gushed. "But when I got to the set and I was actually on Bel-Air Academy, that set with all the kids walking by in their uniforms, it was crazy. It was like nothing I've ever experienced. The emotional, psychological stuff that went on was weird in a really good way."
photosThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Cast, Then and Now
In her recurring season two role, Ali plays Ms. Hughes, the Bel-Air Academy private school teacher of the Banks family's youngest child Ashley (played by Akira Akbar).
"She's taken on a mentorship role with Ashley and sees real brilliance and spark in her," Ali explained, "and despite the curriculum that she's allowed to teach at the school, she really shares with Ashley Black feminist, Black radical books from her own library. Ms. Hughes experiences challenges that a lot of teachers across the country are experiencing right now when trying to make their curriculum more representative of the world that we're in. Her desire to feed the genius and the brilliance, the light that she sees in Ashley, is definitely in conflict with what she's supposed to be doing."
The return to Bel-Air comes just two years after Ali reunited with Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro, Karyn Parsons and the rest of the original Fresh Prince cast to celebrate the series' 30th anniversary. And it's an experience that continues to move the star.
"I loved every minute," she admitted. "I thought that the producers did a really good job of distilling what it's like when we all come together and how it feels. It was just fun to spend time with each other. Over the years maybe it's two of us or three of us, but to have us all together again, it just felt good it was really fun."
While Ali revealed "we all have a text chain" to stay in touch all these years later, there is one person in particular she's remained close to.
"I probably talk to Karyn the most, she played Hilary on the original show," she noted. "We talk a lot. She's my big sister for real."
As for Fresh Prince's decades-long legacy, Ali says she never dreamt the series would still be resonant with viewers today.
"You know you're having fun at the time, but for something to last so many decades," she said, "it's a real blessing that anything that you make or are a part of making could mean that much to people."
Bel-Air season two premieres Thursday, Feb. 23, on Peacock.
(E! and Peacock are both part of the NBCUniversal family)

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reportedly scrapped plans to buy a $34.5 million home in California's Pacific Palisades.
The pair - who married last July - have spent two years looking for the perfect property to buy together and last month they reportedly settled on a $34.5 million seven-bedroom home in California's Pacific Palisades but TMZ.com now reports the couple pulled the plug on the deal after going into escrow.
The website reports the sale was scrapped at the last minute and they are now looking at buying a different property together.
Jennifer and Ben are believed to have been house-hunting since before they tied the knot last summer and the singer/actress recently put her home in Bel Air on the market for $42.5 million.
Ben previously owned a $30 million home in Pacific Palisades which he bought after his split from ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2018 but sold it last year.
The couple are believed to be renting a luxurious home in Beverly Hills while they look for a place to call their own.
Last year, 'Jenny From The Block' star Jennifer threw open the doors to her home as part of Vogue’s 73 Questions and gave the publication a tour of the house as she talked about her life and career.
During the tour, Jennifer revealed one of her favourite rooms is the bathroom where she's able to lock the door and get some much-needed quiet time.
She said: "[I love] locking myself in my bathroom all by myself, taking a bath, putting in the oils and the bath salts, putting on a little music, maybe reading a book."

Jenna Ortega thought nobody was going to watch 'Wednesday.'
The 20-year-old actress stars in the title role of the Netflix series that serves as a spin-off to The Addams Family franchise alongside the likes of Hollywood stars such as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Christina Ricci but admitted that she thought the show surpassed her expectations.
She told The Sunday Times: " I didn’t expect the reaction. The ['Wednesday'] cast and I, I remember, we used to talk about it in Romania [where the show was filmed], we were like, ‘Hey, what do you think will happen with the show?’ That was it, that was the most we ever really got into it. So I thought it wasn’t going to be watched. That it will be a nice little gem that someone finds, but …"
Jenna started her career on the Disney Channel series 'Stuck in the Middle' and went on to explain that the level of fame she experiences now as a result of playing Wednesday as "intimidating" as she admitted she was able to live a "normal life" before the Netflix hit propelled her to success.
She said: "I used to do a Disney show when I was younger. I was a little bit of a public figure, used to get recognised, or whatever. When I look back, I think I was so out of place. I didn’t understand where I was … and you start to see Hollywood for the first time, and it’s a bit intimidating, a bit off-putting … I felt like I was a people’s princess. I didn’t really feel like myself. Then it started to slow down and I lived a pretty normal life!"

Despite the conventional wisdom, not everybody drives all the time in Los Angeles. Those who don’t, it turns out, pay more of a price in terms of the air they breathe than major car commuters, according to a new study.
Researchers from the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy concluded that residents of wealthier, whiter areas exported air pollution to the neighborhoods around their commutes.
“There’s this consistent injustice in air pollution exposure,” said Geoff Boeing, an assistant professor at the school and co-author of the study.
Past studies have established that “there’s a statistically significant difference in exposure levels, particularly in home locations, between white groups and nonwhite groups,” said Boeing, adding that those exposed most to harmful air are “usually Black and Hispanic groups.”
Given what he called a “foundational injustice,” Boeing said he and his co-authors sought to answer a related question about air pollution: Are you being exposed to more than you’re producing?
What they found was that when controlling for every other variable possible, residents who drove more were exposed to less air pollution, and vice versa.
They also noted a distinct racial effect.
“Even when you’re controlling for everything else, a whiter tract is going to be exposed to less air pollution,” Boeing said, referring to census tracts, geographical areas of about 4,000 people.
Boeing used the examples of Bel Air and Baldwin Hills to illustrate his point. Both are relatively wealthy areas, but the whiter area — Bel Air — is much farther from freeway infrastructure, increasing drive times for residents while decreasing their exposure to air pollution.
As a Bel Air resident, “you have to drive more to access your daily needs, but you’re farther from where pollution is generated,” he said.
On the other side of the equation, he pointed to Pico-Union and Boyle Heights, where less wealthy people are more “dependent on public transit or walking or biking” — therefore likely to generate less air pollution while being “surrounded on all sides by freeways.”
Racial discrimination around road building and use is not accidental, experts say. Interstates 5, 10 and 110 were built over Black and Latino neighborhoods, while freeways proposed to cross whiter, richer areas in Reseda, Laurel Canyon and Beverly Hills were stopped.
Boeing and his team also ran commute simulations to model which routes drivers from various areas take to their jobs.
Jan. 6, 2023
“Drivers from whiter tracts tended to traverse tracts that were much less white than their home tracts,” he said, noting that the models showed “a lot of excess driving from whiter communities across Black and brown communities in the L.A. basin.”
The reverse situation, in which people of color commute through whiter communities, was much less common, he said.
Times staff writers Liam Dillon and Ben Poston contributed to this report.

It seems Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid won’t be visiting their dad in Bel Air, CA anytime soon. After a grueling legal battle between neighbors and the celebrity real estate millionaire, The Daily Mail reports that Mohamed Hadid, father of the supermodels, will soon be short $2.6 million as he pays out legal fees connected to a lawsuit over the alleged “dangerous” construction of his Los Angeles mansion.
Hadid purchased property back in 2011, with the supposed intention of building a smaller residence, according to Dirt. Plans quickly switched gears however; the “small home” turned into the desire for an even larger mansion built over what already existed — 30,000-square-feet, to be exact.

In order to complete the project, Hadid secured shady — and potentially dangerous — construction permits for what would eventually become an illegal construction plan, Dirt reported.
Neighbors below Hadid caught on to how the process was panning out, and immediately took action to stop the mega mansion that has since been dubbed “Starship Enterprise.” In 2015, the reality TV star was criminally prosecuted by the City of LA when he refused to comply with ‘stop work’ orders.
Doing so would mean facing an incredible loss for Hadid, who claimed he was “broke” at the time. His goal was to sell Starship Enterprise for a whopping $100 million; quitting the construction at that time would cost him approximately $60 million in losses over the property; according to The Daily Mail, $30 million came from his own pocket.
It was the first in a series of lawsuits and payouts that would continue up until 2023. Neighbors were mainly concerned because the home was located on the side of a mountain; while the original 15,000-square-foot building was constructed within legal parameters, doubling the property in size could cause undue stress in the neighborhood, including the risk of the building collapsing.
In 2019, a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge ordered Hadid’s pet project be destroyed, agreeing with Bel Air residents that the final product would pose “legitimate risk of suffering damage and harm to their homes” as reported by People.
Deconstruction of the mansion began in 2021, but Hadid’s neighbors felt justice had not yet been fully served. They continued with more legal battles, especially to try and recoup the millions of dollars in legal fees they had collectively shelled out to fight against the real estate tycoon.
Currently, The Daily Mail stated that Hadid is responsible for coughing up $2.6 million, which he found to be a “victory” as his neighbors have allegedly spent nearly $9 million on lawyers. He’s also since recovered only a fraction of his initial investment, when the property was sold at auction in 2021 for $5 million, as reported by Dirt.
While neighbors told The Daily Mail that they feel “vindicated,” they haven’t seen a cent yet. “I just want Hadid to pay up and go away,” said Bel Air resident Joe Horacek.
