What to Expect — Honest Condition Disclosure
Wind & Watertight containers have completed multiple ocean voyages. They are structurally sound and weatherproof, and they look their age. Direct Ship units ship straight from the container depot without cosmetic preparation. Expect:

Exterior rust Surface rust present — does not affect structural integrity
Dents and dings Minor dents from handling — cosmetic only
Floor condition Scratches, scrapes, and wear marks from cargo loading
Patches Possible — standard repair method for minor steel damage
Odour Possible residual odour from previous cargo
Colour Varies — original shipping line paint, not repainted before sale
Weatherproof seal Intact — door gaskets seal against wind and water
Structural integrity Sound — passes Wind & Watertight inspection
Bottom line: the cosmetics are used. The structure and weatherproof seal are not.

Direct Ship — What It Means
Direct Ship containers bypass the fabrication facility and ship straight from the container depot. This removes double-handling between depot, workshop, and delivery — reducing the total purchase price. Direct Ship is the entry-cost path to a Wind & Watertight 40ft High Cube.

Note: Direct Ship units are not available for custom modifications — windows, doors, insulation, partitions, or electrical fit-out. Colour selection is not available; units ship in their original factory colour. If modifications or a specific colour are required, see the standard modified container range.
