Container destuffing cost in the GTA.
Container destuffing in the GTA is priced per container by size and carton count, not by the hour. A floor-loaded 20′, 40′, or 40′HC carries a carton allowance and a SKU cap; cartons over the allowance are priced in fixed increments, and add-ons like SKU sorting, FBA prep, or palletizing-and-storing are quoted as separate lines. Every quote is firm and in writing before your box is on the ground — the structure below is the same one we quote every customer.
What moves the number: carton count over the allowance, the number of SKUs to sort, whether it needs FBA labels, and whether the freight is mixed, crushed, or mislabeled (we tell you that cost before we touch it, not after).
Answered straight.
What is the cheapest way to destuff a container?
A clean, single-SKU, floor-loaded box at or under the carton allowance is the cheapest — no overage, no sorting. The cost climbs with carton count over allowance, SKU sorting, and any FBA or labeling prep. We quote each as its own line so you can see exactly what drives it.
How long does destuffing a 40′HC take?
Same-day or next-day is normal near the 401/427 corridors when the appointment lines up. Mixed freight, heavy SKU sorting, or FBA prep add time — tell us the box and we tell you the real window before you book.
Can you store the pallets after destuffing?
Yes — destuff-and-store is quoted as one number, by the pallet, week-to-month, no lease.
