Payment & Invoicing Policy – KC Container Yard

Last Updated: November 9, 2026

Our Payment Model:

Formal Invoicing for High-Ticket Industrial Transactions

At KC Container Yard, we operate on a secure, B2B invoicing model. We do not process credit cards for the full price of a shipping container. Instead, every purchase follows a transparent invoice process that protects both the buyer and the seller on high-value industrial transactions.

2. How the Invoice Checkout Process Works

When you select a container on our website and proceed to checkout, the system will generate a formal Invoice Request. This is not an immediate charge. The process works as follows:

  1. Select Your Container: Choose the size, condition, and quantity you require. If you are purchasing multiple units, indicate the quantity in the notes section at checkout.
  2. Add a Note (Optional but Recommended): At checkout, you will see a field for Order Notes. Use this space to tell us:

    • If you would like to discuss a partial deposit rather than paying the full invoice upfront.

    • The total number of containers you are interested in.

    • Any specific delivery scheduling requirements.

  3. Submit the Invoice Request: Clicking the checkout button does not charge your card. It submits your request to our team.

  4. Receive Your Formal Invoice: Within one business day, a container specialist will review your request and send you a formal invoice. This invoice will show the full container price, the exact freight cost to your ZIP code, and a clear total. No payment is due until you approve this invoice.

  5. Settle via Bank Wire: Once you approve the invoice, you will settle the balance via bank wire transfer. Your order is not dispatched until the wire transfer has cleared and been verified by our finance team.

3. Deposit Discussions

If you prefer to secure your container with a partial deposit rather than paying the full invoice upfront, this can be discussed directly with your assigned specialist after you submit your invoice request. Any deposit terms will be documented transparently in a revised invoice before any funds are transferred. We do not accept peer-to-peer payment apps (such as Zelle or Chime) for container purchases.

4. Accepted Payment Methods

  • Bank Wire Transfer: The standard and required method for settling the full container balance.

  • Invoicing: Formal invoices are generated for every order and must be approved before payment.

  • Deposits: Deposit terms, if offered, will be documented in a formal invoice and settled via bank wire transfer.

We do not accept credit cards, cryptocurrency, or peer-to-peer payment apps for the full container price. This is standard practice for high-ticket industrial equipment and ensures full transparency for both parties.

5. Payment Timing and Dispatch

Your container will not be loaded for dispatch until the full invoice amount (or the agreed-upon deposit) has been received and cleared in our bank account. We will provide a dispatch confirmation once funds have been verified.
