| Delivery-Day Charge | UNITS states that a reservation can be canceled without a cancellation charge when the cancellation is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled delivery. |
| Local Units Location | The published 24-hour rule is a reservation-stage rule. Once a container has been delivered, the customer's local rental agreement and the terms for the active rental matter. |

Separate the reservation clock from the rental handoff
The reservation clock tells the reservation holder when the first UNITS Moving and Portable Storage action happened. The delivery-day charge shows whether another obligation may already exist. The rental handoff shows what UNITS Moving and Portable Storage ultimately recorded. Those three checkpoints should be read separately. Canceling a reservation before delivery is different from ending an active container rental after delivery. The reservation rule controls the first situation; the rental agreement can control the second.
