Payment Policy
Last Updated: June 24, 2026
This Payment Policy explains the payment methods we accept and how payments are processed when you order from Swift Ship Containers. By placing an order, you agree to the terms below. It works alongside our Sales Tax Policy, Shipping Policy, Return & Refund Policy, and Terms & Conditions.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
- Credit & Debit Cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, processed securely through Stripe.
- Bank / Wire Transfer (ACH) — available for larger orders and preferred for bulk or custom purchases. Bank details are provided on your invoice.
For security and accounting reasons, we do not accept cash on delivery, personal checks, or money orders. If you are unsure which method is best for your order, call our team at +1 (435) 229-9359 and we will be glad to help.
2. Deposits & When Payment Is Due
- Stock containers and standard units: payment is due in full before the container is dispatched for delivery.
- Custom or modified orders: a deposit is required to secure materials and begin fabrication, with the balance due prior to delivery. The deposit becomes non-refundable once fabrication has begun. Deposit terms are confirmed on your quote.
3. Currency
All prices on this website and all invoices are quoted and charged in US Dollars (USD).
4. Payment Processing
- All transactions are handled through secure, encrypted payment gateways.
- A temporary authorization hold may be placed on your card to verify available funds; this is released according to your bank’s policies.
- Card payments are typically captured when your order is confirmed and prepared for dispatch.
- Bank and wire transfers may take 1–3 business days to settle; delivery scheduling begins once funds have cleared.
5. Payment Security
Card payments are handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor — the highest level of payment security. All transactions are encrypted over a secure (SSL) connection. Swift Ship Containers never sees or stores your full card number or security code on our servers.
6. Invoices & Receipts
After you place an order, you will receive an email confirmation that serves as your invoice and receipt. If you need an itemized invoice for a phone or custom order, just ask and we will send one.
7. Declined or Failed Payments
If a payment is declined or a transfer cannot be verified, your order will be placed on hold and our team will contact you to arrange an alternative payment method. Orders are not dispatched until payment is received in full.
8. Fraud Prevention
To protect our customers, orders may be screened for fraud. Suspicious or high-risk transactions may be temporarily held while we verify the order with the cardholder. We may request additional verification before processing a large or unusual order.
9. Sales Tax
Applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. For details, including tax-exempt purchases, see our Sales Tax Policy.
10. Refunds & Cancellations
Refunds are issued to the original payment method. Orders cancelled before dispatch are generally refundable; once an order has shipped or fabrication has begun, our standard terms apply. Please allow 5–10 business days for an approved refund to post. Full details are in our Return & Refund Policy.
11. Pricing
Prices are subject to change without notice. The price that applies to your order is the price confirmed at the time your payment is accepted.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Payment Policy as our operations evolve. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
