Shipping
Priced to your floor, not to the port.
Equipment is bulky and easy to ship badly. We plan container loading by CBM, consolidate the order and can deliver DDP so the equipment arrives at your address with duty and clearance handled.
Terms
Choose how far you want us to take it.
| Incoterm | Full name | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| DDP | Delivered duty paid | We handle freight, export, import clearance, duty and final delivery to your address. |
| FOB Qingdao | Free on board | We deliver to Qingdao port and load; your forwarder handles ocean freight. |
| FOB Tianjin | Free on board | Alternative northern port, useful for faster inland trucking from Dezhou. |
| CIF | Cost, insurance, freight | We arrange freight and insurance to your destination port; you handle import clearance. |
| EXW | Ex works | You collect from the factory. Rarely the cheapest option once inland transport is added. |
Loading
How a gym fits into a container.
Strength equipment is heavy but not uniform. A machine that looks compact can consume twice the CBM of a similar unit once packaging and clearance are counted, and a poor loading plan leaves air in the container that you pay for.
Every quotation states CBM per model and a container plan: what fits in a 20GP, a 40GP or a 40HQ, and where the remaining space can be filled with benches, plates, racks or accessories. Cartons are loaded in the sequence the installation needs, so the first items you unpack are the ones you install first.
- CBM and net weight stated per model
- Carton dimensions and stacking rules
- Container loading diagram with seal number
- Mixed-series consolidation in one shipment
- Loading photos and video before departure
Typical port routing
| Port | From Dezhou | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qingdao | 4–5 hours by truck | Main northern export port |
| Tianjin | 2.5–3 hours by truck | Alternative for northern lanes |
| Shanghai | Longer inland | Used for specific sailing schedules |
Ocean transit varies by lane and sailing. We confirm routing and transit in the quotation rather than quoting a generic number.
