Shipping & Delivery Information
We provide FREE SHIPPING within the contiguous U.S. Standard shipping is included at no additional charge for qualifying orders delivered within the lower 48 states.
At Capital Shredder, we specialize in delivering everything from deskside units to industrial-grade destruction systems. Because our products vary significantly in size and weight, we offer a range of shipping services tailored to your facility's needs.

2. Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories

- Transit Times: Please allow additional transit time depending on sailing or flight schedules to your region.
3. Specialized Delivery Services
Since many of our shredders exceed 200 lbs, additional services may be required to ensure a safe delivery.
- Liftgate Service: Required if your delivery location does not have a loading dock and the equipment must be lowered to the ground.
- Inside Delivery: Moves the palletized equipment inside the first dry threshold of your building, such as a garage or lobby.

Product FAQs
Questions About C-17X Industrial Crosscut Shredder w/ Hopper
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the C-17X secure enough for confidential office documents?
Yes — the C-17X industrial shredder cuts to a P-3 security level (4 mm x 50 mm particles), which comfortably covers everyday confidential office documents.
What's the difference between the C-17X's cross-cut and a basic strip-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders slice paper into long strips that can potentially be pieced back together. The C-17X's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the C-17X handle per pass?
The C-17X pulls 85-90 sheets per pass at 39 FPM through a 17.5 opening, with a 68 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. That capacity is aimed at high-volume document destruction, where sustained throughput matters more than occasional desk-side use.
What day-to-day features does the C-17X offer?
The C-17X is built to run with minimal hands-on effort — check the spec sheet for the full feature list. This is a larger unit (64"H x 30"W x 30 "D), so plan for dedicated floor space rather than a desktop or under-desk spot.
Who is the C-17X designed for?
The C-17X is built for a central mailroom or high-volume shredding operation — the kind of sustained daily volume a single desk or department shredder isn't designed to handle.
