Prefab space capsule houses are becoming popular for resorts, campsites, Airbnb projects, scenic areas, and outdoor accommodation. For overseas buyers, one of the most important questions is how these modular houses are shipped from the factory to the project site.
In this article, we explain the main shipping process, packaging methods, container options, and delivery terms for prefab space capsule houses from China.
1.Factory Pre-Installation Before Shipping
Before shipping, most electrical systems, lighting, wall panels, flooring, bathroom systems, doors, windows, and basic interior components can be pre-installed at the factory. Factory pre-installation helps reduce on-site installation time and makes overseas project delivery more efficient.
2.Export Packaging
Proper export packaging is important for long-distance sea transportation. The capsule house is usually protected with waterproof covering, corner protection, reinforced fixing parts, and secure loading methods to reduce damage during transport.
For glass, aluminum panels, interior components, and electrical parts, additional protection can be applied according to the shipping distance and project requirements.
3.Container and Flat Rack Shipping
The shipping method depends on the size and configuration of the space capsule house. Smaller modular units may be shipped by standard container or high cube container, while larger capsule houses are often transported by flat rack container.
For larger models, such as the S9 prefab space capsule house, flat rack shipping is commonly used because of the overall size and structure.
4.FOB, CIF, and DDP Delivery Terms
For international buyers, common delivery terms include FOB, CIF, and DDP.
FOB means the supplier delivers the goods to the departure port. CIF includes sea freight and insurance to the destination port. DDP can include customs clearance, taxes, and delivery to the final address, depending on the destination country and project requirements.
5.Shipping Ports from China
STARK EARK is based in Foshan, Guangdong, China. For FOB shipments, the nearest ports are Nansha Port in Guangzhou and Shekou Port in Shenzhen. These ports are commonly used for international container shipping and can support global delivery to different countries and regions.
6.What Buyers Should Confirm Before Shipping
Before shipment, buyers should confirm the product model, quantity, layout, electrical standard, destination port, delivery terms, and unloading conditions at the project site. If the project site has limited access, buyers should also prepare crane service or local installation support in advance.
Conclusion
Shipping a prefab space capsule house overseas requires proper factory pre-installation, export packaging, container planning, and delivery term selection.
