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.
1. Contiguous United States

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 240-P4 Deskside Crosscut Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the 240-P4 secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the 240-P4 deskside cross-cut paper shredder cuts to a P-4 security level (1/8" x 1-1/8" particles), which comfortably covers HR files, financial records, and most day-to-day confidential business documents.
What's the difference between the 240-P4'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 240-P4's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the 240-P4 handle per pass?
The 240-P4 pulls up to 17 sheets per pass at 17 FPM through a 9 1/2" opening, with a 10.5 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. For a deskside paper shredder, that is practical capacity for everyday confidential-document shredding without constantly emptying the bin.
What day-to-day features does the 240-P4 offer?
The 240-P4 includes auto-reverse to clear jams on its own, hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. It's compact enough to fit under a desk or in a corner — 25"H x 16" W x 14.5"D.
Who is the 240-P4 designed for?
The 240-P4 is sized for a busy department or shared office — enough capacity to keep up with several people's routine shredding without constant emptying, without stepping up to a dedicated mailroom-class machine.
