Welcome to Storage Depot. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website and the purchase of shipping containers from us. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully.
✔️ Australian Consumer Law applies: Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy provided under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) that cannot be excluded.
1. Definitions
In these Terms:
“Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” means Storage Depot Pty Ltd.
“Customer”, “you”, “your” means the individual or entity purchasing containers or using this website.
“Container” means any new, used, modified, or specially adapted shipping container offered for sale.

2. About Storage Depot
We are an Australian company specialising in the sale and delivery of shipping containers across the country. For any queries, see our contact details at the end of this document.
3. Acceptance and Changes
By placing an order or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with the “last updated” date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
4. Listings, Pricing & Payment
4.1 Accuracy
We take care to describe containers accurately (including grade, dimensions, and condition). However, due to the nature of used containers, minor cosmetic variations may exist. Images are for illustration only.
4.2 Prices and GST
All prices displayed are in Australian dollars and include Goods and Services Tax (GST) unless stated otherwise. A tax invoice will be provided with your purchase.
4.3 Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, direct bank transfer, and EFTPOS (in person). Full payment is required before delivery or collection, unless a deposit arrangement has been agreed in writing.
5. Order Process
Your order constitutes an offer to purchase. We will send an acknowledgement email, but a binding contract is only formed when we send you an order confirmation (acceptance) or when the container is dispatched. If we cannot accept your order (e.g., stock is unavailable), we will notify you and refund any payment.
6. Delivery and Collection
6.1 Delivery Responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring the delivery site has adequate access (width, height, and ground condition). We will provide standard delivery dimensions on request. If a delivery attempt fails due to inadequate access or incorrect information, redelivery fees may apply.
6.2 Risk and Title
Risk in the container passes to you upon delivery or collection. Title remains with us until full payment is received.
6.3 Collection
If you choose to collect from our depot, you must do so within 7 days of payment. Storage fees may be charged thereafter.
7. Inspection and Acceptance
⚠️ Inspect before signing — You (or your representative) must inspect the container upon delivery or collection. Note any damage or discrepancy on the delivery docket. Failure to do so may limit your ability to make a claim later, though it does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
By signing the delivery receipt, you confirm that the container is in acceptable condition (except for any items specifically recorded on the docket).
8. Warranties and Returns
8.1 Australian Consumer Law
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. For major failures, you are entitled to a replacement or refund and compensation for other reasonably foreseeable loss. For minor failures, you are entitled to have the failure rectified within a reasonable time.
8.2 Commercial / Non-Consumer Purchases
If you are not a consumer within the meaning of the ACL (e.g., certain business purchases), our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law, and any implied warranties are excluded. In that case, our voluntary warranty is limited to defects in materials or workmanship as follows:
Container type
Warranty period
New containers
12 months
Used / one-trip containers (Grade A)
3 months
Modified containers (structural mods)
6 months on modification work
8.3 Exclusions
Our voluntary warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, surface rust on cut edges, damage from relocation, misuse, or force majeure. These exclusions do not limit the consumer guarantees described in clause 8.1.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Storage Depot excludes liability for indirect or consequential loss (including loss of contents, profits, or business interruption). Where liability cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, our maximum liability is limited, at our option, to replacing or repairing the container or refunding the amount you paid for it.
10. Customer Responsibilities
You agree to:
Obtain any permits or approvals required for container placement.
Not store hazardous, flammable, toxic, or illegal substances.
Not use containers as habitable structures unless specifically sold as such and compliant with local laws.
Provide true and complete information when ordering.
11. Prohibited Uses
You must not use our website or containers for any unlawful purpose, or in any way that could damage our reputation or impair others’ use of our services.
12. Intellectual Property
All content on this website (text, logos, images) is owned by or licensed to Storage Depot. You may not reproduce or distribute any material without written permission.
13. Privacy
We handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By using our site, you consent to such collection and use.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
15. Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us directly. If it is not resolved, both parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith before commencing court proceedings. Nothing in this clause prevents you from exercising your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or contacting your state or territory consumer protection agency.
16. Severability
If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force.
