Honest Condition Disclosure
Wind & Watertight containers have completed multiple ocean voyages. They are structurally sound and weatherproof, and they look their age. Direct Ship units ship straight from the container depot without cosmetic preparation. Expect surface rust, dents, and faded paint carrying the previous shipping line’s livery. These are normal after years of ocean service and do not affect the container’s ability to keep dry stored goods secure.
Bottom line: the cosmetics are used. The structure and weatherproof seal are not.
