- Saves on costs versus expanding your warehousing space or moving inventory to a central location.

Shipping Container FAQs
Here are some questions we are commonly asked about Cassidy’s Shipping Containers.
Cassidy’s Shipping Containers are the largest on the market and equal in size to a large rental truck. Our 20’ containers will hold a maximum of 20,000 lbs which should hold the contents of a 2,000 sq.ft. home (often including most of the garage, basement and any outdoor equipment and furniture).
Don’t forget, more than one container can be used if you need the room. If you have a lot of belongings, you may want to contact us to be sure.
- A heavy galvanized steel frame supports 3/8” think FRP walls.
- The walls have eight flush mounted D rings (to secure your items) manufactured right in.

- The steel roof is supported by cross members.
Look at our competitor’s containers and look at ours – then decide what is best for your possessions.
It’s up to you. You can keep the container at your residence if you wish, or you can have your container moved to one of the secure compounds. You can access your Shipping Containers in our yard during normal business hours with 24 hours notice.
We recommend storage in a container for relatively short periods. Less than three months is a good guildeline. The Shipping Containers are not climate controlled, and so are susceptible to condensation that naturally occurs when the temperature changes. For long term storage, Cassidy’s offers indoor, temperature-controlled storage.
You can pay using a Visa, MasterCard or American Express. You’ll be charged for the initial services when the Shipping Containers is delivered to your residence. If storage is required for more than one month, your credit card will be charged for each additional month. Any other services will be charged when they are performed.
You are responsible to ensure your belongings are safely packed and secured with your own lock, just like if you rented a truck. Often your homeowner’s policy will provide coverage. We recommend that you check with your insurance provider.
Cassidy’s Self Store and Move Containers must stay in Ottawa and the Upper Ottawa Valley. If you are moving just outside the areas we serve, it may be possible to arrange for service with an additional mileage charge.
Cassidy’s is partnered with United Van Lines that has a program called FlexibleMove. This innovative program delivers containers to your double door for you to load and then delivers them to your new city, anywhere in Canada for you to unload.
When making a booking for self storage shipping containers, please beware that all sales are final.
You may cancel your order two days prior to delivery for a full refund.
While Cassidy’s has designed the Shipping
Containers and the related delivery service to be as easy and convenient as possible, you as the renter need to be aware of your responsibilities.

FAQs For 40 Ft Sea Cans
A 40-foot container has enough space to fit the entire contents of a four- to five-bedroom home or larger business inventory. With this much room, you can store furniture, appliances, large equipment, pallets of inventory, or even vehicles.
Many businesses use 40-foot containers as portable warehouses. For companies moving heavy machinery or large shipments, a 40-foot container provides more than enough room.
Choosing between renting or buying a storage container depends on how long you need it and how you plan to use it.
Renting is often the better option if you need shorter-term storage. This could be during a move, renovation, or a temporary project. A rental gives you time flexibility without the commitment of buying.
If you think you’ll need one for longer, or if you want the freedom to modify yours, buying is the way to go. Ownership gives you full control to do whatever you want, and it’s a one-time investment that can pay itself off over enough time. A container you own can be used for pretty much anything beyond storage, like turning it into a workshop, cabin, mobile office, or custom-built living space.
