These terms of use cover shippingcratesforsale.com and any crate request you send through it. The short version: what you read here is general guidance, not legal or customs advice; a quote is an offer for the crate described in its spec; and the quote, not the site, sets the price.",[10,13,16,19],[11,12],"Last reviewed","8 November 2026",[14,15],"Site content","General guidance only",[17,18],"Price set by","The written quote",[20,21],"Questions","info@shippingcratesforsale.com",{"rows":23},[24,27,30,33,36,39],[25,26],"Guidance","General, not legal or customs advice",[28,29],"Quote basis","Dimensions and weight you supplied",[31,32],"Prices","Given in the quote only",[34,35],"Your part","Accurate numbers and fragile points",[37,38],"Outside links","For reference only",[40,41],"Changes","Dated at the top of this page",null,[44,50,55,60,65,70,75,79,84],{"h2":45,"paragraphs":46},"Using this site",[47,48,49],"By using this site or sending a request through it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or its forms. It is written for businesses and people arranging the movement of goods in wood crates, from a single machine to a standing run of standard sizes.","You may read, print and pass pages around for your own work, for instance sending a measuring guide to a colleague on the dock or attaching a page to an internal packing instruction. Please do not copy the text or drawings wholesale onto another website or present them as your own.","We may change, pause or retire pages without notice, and we do not guarantee the site will always be reachable or free of errors. Outages and maintenance happen; email still works when a page does not.",{"h2":51,"paragraphs":52},"Information on the site is general guidance",[53,54],"Our pages explain how skids, runners, cleats, sheathing, blocking and marks work, and how ISPM 15 treatment applies to wood packaging. That is general guidance about crates and wood packaging, written for people who ship industrial loads. It is not legal, customs or compliance advice, and it is not a ruling on any particular shipment.","Import rules for wood packaging are set by the receiving country and can change. Before you ship, confirm ISPM 15 and other import requirements with APHIS and with the destination country's national plant-protection authority. Where something on this site and an official source disagree, follow the official source.",{"h2":56,"paragraphs":57},"What a quote is",[58,59],"A quote is an offer to supply the crate described in its spec: the construction, the members, any treatment and marking, interior items such as VCI or desiccant, the quantity and the delivery. It rests on the inside dimensions and gross weight you supplied, and on the destination and date you gave us.","If the load turns out different, whether larger, heavier, a new shape or bound for another country, the crate in the spec may no longer suit it, and a new quote may be needed. A quote covers what it lists. Anything it leaves out, such as unloading at your dock, is not included unless the quote says otherwise.",{"h2":61,"paragraphs":62},"Prices and availability",[63,64],"This site shows no prices. Prices and availability, including for used and standard-size crates, are given in the quote we send, not on these pages. Lumber is a traded commodity whose cost moves, so a figure given for one order does not carry over to a later one unless we say in writing that it does.","Each used crate is a single item, so one offered in a quote may not be available for a later request. Standard sizes and custom builds depend on lumber supply and our build schedule, which is why the quote states the date it is based on.",{"h2":66,"paragraphs":67},"Accuracy of what you send",[68,69],"A crate is only as sound as the numbers behind it. You are responsible for the accuracy of the dimensions, the gross weight, the centre of gravity and the fragile points you give us. If the weight is an estimate or the position of the heavy end is a guess, say so, so the spec can allow for it.","We build from what you tell us. A crate sized for a lighter weight than the real one, or blocked against a surface you did not flag as delicate, may not protect the load as intended. Tell us about changes before the build starts, not once the crate has been cut.",{"h2":71,"paragraphs":72},"Using the forms fairly",[73,74],"Send genuine requests about real loads. Please do not submit automated or bulk entries, someone else's contact details without their permission, misleading information, or files carrying malicious code. We may ignore or delete submissions that look like spam or abuse.","Keep anything confidential that you would not want in an ordinary business email out of the notes field and attachments, or tell us first how you would like it handled. Our privacy policy explains what happens to what you send.",{"h2":76,"paragraphs":77},"Our content and outside links",[78],"The text, drawings and layout of this site are ours. Links to APHIS, NELMA and other outside sites are there for reference, so you can read the rules where they are published. We do not control those sites; their content, accuracy and terms are their own, and a link is not an endorsement of anything beyond the page it points to.",{"h2":80,"paragraphs":81},"No warranty, and limits of liability",[82,83],"We work to keep the site accurate, but its content is provided as is, without any warranty that it is complete, current or right for your shipment. Treat it as a starting point and check anything that matters against the official source or your own advisers.","We are not liable for losses that come from relying on the site's general guidance in place of the rules that actually apply to your shipment, or from errors in information you supplied. What we owe on an order is set by its quote and the order itself, not by these terms of use. Nothing here limits any responsibility that the law does not allow to be limited.",{"h2":85,"paragraphs":86},"Changes to these terms, and contact",[87,88],"We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, the date at the top of the page changes, and the version posted when you use the site is the one that applies. Send questions about them, or about anything you read here, to info@shippingcratesforsale.com and we will answer by email.","Put briefly: browse freely, treat the guides as a starting point rather than a ruling, describe your cargo honestly, and rely on the written quote, not a web page, for anything binding about price, timing or construction.",[90,93,96],{"q":91,"a":92},"Is the export guidance on this site legal advice?","No. It is general guidance. Confirm ISPM 15 and import rules with APHIS and the destination country's plant-protection authority.",{"q":94,"a":95},"Does a quote still hold if my load changes?","Not necessarily. A quote is based on the dimensions and weight you supplied, so a different load may need a new quote.",{"q":97,"a":98},"Where do I find prices?","In the quote we send you. The site does not list prices.",[100,101,102,103,104],"\u002Fprivacy","\u002Fcontact","\u002Fquote","\u002F","\u002Fexport\u002Frequirements",[],1794178336449]
