If you pass by any gas station during your daily commute, you will see that the gas prices have been increasing rapidly within these 2 – 3 months. Anyone who drives a vehicle will tell you that they are spending more every time they are at the gas pump. Correspondently, businesses affected by the increase in gas prices raised the price of their services or products to cope with this situation. As we offer sea-can deliveries to our customers, our trucking operation is very well affected by the unpredictable gas prices. We will have to adjust our trucking rates in response to the increase in expense.
We are doing our best to keep the delivery rate as low as possible for our customers. As we are located between the city of Vancouver and Richmond (Mitchell Island), we have kept the delivery rate unchanged for both cities to serve our community. The delivery price is kept at the lowest possible rate for other cities.

In terms of sea-can rentals, for every quote and rental contract, it will state the pick-up fee will be determined based on the posted transportation rates at the time of return; if a year from now, the gas prices keep on increasing, the pick-up fee will likely be more than the delivery fee we currently charge. On the other hand, if the gas prices lessened a year later, the pick-up fee will likely be less than the delivery fee we are currently charging.
We want to mention that although we are happy to arrange delivery for our customers to make the rental process more convenient, customers are always welcome to arrange their own transportation.
