SUNRUN BUYER GUIDE · 05 SHIPPING

Packaging, Loading & International Shipping

A practical route from the confirmed factory configuration to safe loading, shipping documents and a prepared receiving site.

Every shipment depends on the selected model, quantity, destination and agreed delivery terms. Confirm the final packing and loading plan for the actual order before booking transport.

Folded modular house lifted for truck loading

01 · CONFIRM THE SHIPMENT

Check the model and folded size

Confirm the model, final folded dimensions, gross weight, quantity and configuration. Include loose accessories, optional components and any items that travel separately in the packing list.

02 · PROTECT THE UNIT

Prepare factory packaging

Protect vulnerable corners, openings and finished surfaces for the planned handling and route. Label units and accessories clearly so each package can be matched to the order and installation sequence.

03 · PLAN LOADING

Match equipment to the load

Choose lifting equipment, truck or container arrangements from the confirmed dimensions and weight. Check lifting points, clearance and securement with the transport team before the unit leaves the factory.

04 · BOOK TRANSPORT

Coordinate route and documents

Agree on the port or delivery address, shipment schedule and trade terms. Confirm which commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and destination-specific records are needed for the actual shipment.

05 · PREPARE ARRIVAL

Check access and unloading

Plan vehicle access, turning space, crane position, ground conditions and a safe unloading area. Arrange the receiving team and suitable equipment before arrival.

06 · INSPECT & HAND OVER

Record delivery condition

Compare delivered packages with the packing list, photograph visible condition, and report any shortage or transit damage promptly through the agreed channel before installation begins.

Information to share for a shipping plan

  • Product model, quantity, selected options and final configuration.
  • Destination country, port or full delivery address and preferred delivery terms.
  • Site access limits, unloading equipment and installation schedule.
  • Any local documentation, customs or permitting requirements advised by your import team.

Container capacity, freight cost and transit time are confirmed for each order and route after the final dimensions and loading method are reviewed.
