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.

3. Specialized Delivery Services
Since many of our shredders exceed 200 lbs, additional services may be required to ensure a safe delivery.

Product FAQs
Questions About 400-S5 High Volume Stripcut Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the 400-S5 secure enough for confidential office documents?
Yes — the 400-S5 high-volume strip-cut paper shredder cuts to a P-3 security level (1/4" particles), which comfortably covers everyday confidential office documents.
What's the difference between the 400-S5's strip-cut and a cross-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders like the 400-S5 slice paper into long strips — faster and lower-maintenance than a cross-cut machine, but the strips can potentially be pieced back together, so it's better suited to routine paper volume than documents that need a higher security level.
How much can the 400-S5 handle per pass?
The 400-S5 pulls 55-60 sheets per pass at 30 FPM through a 16" opening, with a 53 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. That combination of sheet capacity, speed, and bin size is designed for high-volume shredding in busy offices, mailrooms, or centralized document-destruction areas.
What day-to-day features does the 400-S5 offer?
The 400-S5 includes auto-reverse to clear jams on its own, hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. This is a larger unit (36"H x 23"Wx 19"D), so plan for dedicated floor space rather than a desktop or under-desk spot.
Who is the 400-S5 designed for?
The 400-S5 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.
