Nationwide Shipping
While our own fleet covers Ohio and its border states, we ship IBC totes to all 50 states through our freight carrier partnerships. Nationwide orders are palletized and shipped via LTL (less-than-truckload) or full truckload depending on volume.
For orders of 24 or more totes, full truckload shipping is typically the most cost-effective option. A standard 53-foot trailer holds approximately 24 IBC totes in a single layer or up to 48 if double-stacked. We coordinate truck scheduling, loading, and transit tracking so you know exactly when your order will arrive.
Shipping costs vary by destination and volume. We provide all-inclusive quotes that include freight, loading, and any required liftgate service. There are no hidden fees or surprise surcharges on delivery.

Our Delivery Fleet
We operate our own fleet of delivery vehicles rather than relying on third-party carriers. This gives us direct control over scheduling, handling, and customer service. When our truck arrives at your location, you are dealing with an Ohio IBC Totes employee who knows how to handle totes properly and represents our quality standards.
Our fleet includes box trucks for standard deliveries of 1 to 12 totes, flatbed trailers for larger loads and full truckloads, and trucks equipped with hydraulic liftgates for locations without loading docks. Every vehicle carries strapping and blocking materials to secure totes during transit.
All drivers are CDL-licensed, trained in safe tote handling, and carry insurance coverage that exceeds industry minimums. We track every delivery in real time and provide ETAs so you know exactly when to expect your order.
Delivery Scheduling
We make scheduling as flexible as possible so deliveries fit your operations, not the other way around.
Same-Day Rush
Available for Columbus metro (Zone A). Place your order before 10 AM and receive delivery by end of business day. Rush fee applies for orders under 10 totes.
Next-Day Standard
Available across most of Ohio. Order by 2 PM for guaranteed next business day delivery. No additional fee. Our most popular delivery option.
Scheduled Recurring
Set a weekly, biweekly, or monthly delivery schedule. We stage your order in advance and deliver on the agreed day automatically. Ideal for businesses with predictable consumption.
Appointment Window
Choose a specific 2-hour delivery window that works for your receiving schedule. Guaranteed arrival within the selected window or we credit the delivery fee.
