You assume all responsibility for the safe handling, storage, and use of propane tanks after delivery. We cannot accept returns of tanks that have been filled or used due to safety regulations.

If you believe your propane tank is defective upon delivery (e.g., valve damage, visible defects), do not fill it. Contact us immediately at info@conextcontainerdepot.org within 48 hours of delivery. We will arrange inspection and replacement at no cost if the defect is confirmed.
