Packaging & Shipping

Packing methods for playground equipment involve the careful and efficient arrangement of various components, structures, and materials to ensure safe transportation, storage, and installation. These methods aim to prevent damage, maximize space utilization, ensure that the playground equipment arrives at its destination in good condition and can be efficiently assembled for safe use.

Packing/Loading

1. Disassembly and Modular Packing: Playground equipment, such as slides, climbing frames, and swings, can often be disassembled into smaller components. These components are then packaged separately or in modular sets, making them easier to transport and store. This method reduces the overall size of each package and allows for more efficient use of space.
2. Bubble Wrap and Cushioning: Fragile parts or components made of sensitive materials, such as plastic or glass, are wrapped in bubble wrap or other cushioning materials. This provides protection against impact and minimizes the risk of scratches or breakage during transit.
3. Labeling and Organization: Clearly labeling each package with information such as contents, assembly instructions, and handling guidelines ensures that the playground equipment is easily identifiable and manageable during transportation and installation.

Shipping Term

There are 3 major shipping ways to transport the goods to clients: By express, by air and by sea. For playground equipment, some of the commonly used shipping terms by sea include:
1. FOB (Free On Board): The seller is responsible for getting the playground equipment to the port of shipment and loading it onto the vessel. The buyer then takes responsibility for the transportation, insurance, and other costs from the port of shipment to the final destination.
2. CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): The seller is responsible for the cost of the playground equipment, insurance, and freight to transport the equipment to the port of destination. The buyer covers any costs beyond that point, including unloading and transportation to the final location.
3. EXW (Ex Works): The buyer is responsible for the entire shipping process, from picking up the playground equipment at the seller's location to arranging transportation, insurance, and delivery to the final destination.

Installation

The installation of outdoor gym equipment involves a series of well-planned steps to ensure safety, durability, and functionality. It begins with selecting a suitable location, typically a level, well-drained area, free from underground utilities, and ensuring the site meets local zoning and safety requirements. Ground preparation includes marking the layout, excavating holes for equipment foundations, and adding a gravel base to aid drainage.

The equipment is then partially assembled and positioned in the marked areas, ensuring proper alignment and levelness. Concrete is poured into the foundation holes to securely anchor the equipment, followed by a curing period of 24 to 72 hours. After the concrete has set, the equipment is fully assembled, all bolts and fasteners are tightened, and protective safety caps are installed on exposed hardware.

To enhance safety, impact-absorbing surfacing materials such as rubber mats, mulch, or synthetic turf are installed around the equipment. A final inspection ensures that the installation is stable, compliant with safety standards, and ready for public use. Regular maintenance, including checking bolts, joints, and surfacing, is essential to ensure the long-term safety and performance of the equipment. This comprehensive process provides a safe and enjoyable outdoor fitness environment for users of all ages.

Direct Installation

1. Burial Depth of Equipment: For posts 2 meters or taller, bury to a depth of 500 mm. For posts shorter than 2 meters, bury to a depth of 350–400 mm.
2. Foundation Support: Ensure a 100 mm thick layer of concrete at the bottom of the buried section to prevent the equipment from sinking.
3. Concrete Material and Ratio: Use a mixture of cement, sand, and gravel in a ratio of 1:2:3.5.
4. Curing Time: Allow the concrete to cure for 7 days, and only use the equipment once the concrete has fully set.

Surface Mount Installation

1. Mounting Holes: Each machine in the frame system has corresponding mounting holes at the corners with a diameter of 14 mm.
2. Expansion Screws: Use 12 mm expansion screws. Drill holes should have a diameter of 12 mm and a depth 5 mm deeper than the length of the expansion tube.
3. Ground Requirements: The ground must be a cement surface, or at least the area around the installation holes must be cemented.
4. Installation Completion: Align the machine’s mounting holes with the drilled ground holes, tighten the screws, and the installation is complete. The equipment is ready for use.

Anchor Installation

1. Burial Depth of Equipment: For posts 2 meters or taller, bury to a depth of 600 mm. For posts shorter than 2 meters, bury to a depth of 500–550 mm.
2. Assembly and Installation: Assemble the anchor and support frame, place them into the pit, and pour concrete. Ensure the support frame of the anchor is parallel to the ground (check all four directions). After the concrete sets, fix the equipment onto the anchor, tighten the screws, and cover them with protective caps.
3. Concrete Materials: The mix should consist of cement, sand, and gravel in a ratio of 1:2:3.5.
4. Concrete Filling: Ensure the concrete is fully poured and adequately filled.

Payment Term

Payment Term (T/T Payment):

We usually do 30% deposit by T/T payment before production, and remaining 70% payment before shipment. For our old customers who are temporarily short of cash flow , we can do 10%-20% payment upfront, and the balance payment upon receiving the B/L copy or 10 days before the cargo arrived.

What’s T/T Payment?

T/T payment stands for “Telegraphic Transfer.” In other words, an international wire of funds from the buyer’s bank to the seller’s bank.

When a Chinese supplier asks for a T/T payment, what they really mean is they want a wire transfer. (Technically, a T/T payment is not exactly the same as a wire transfer through the SWIFT system, but the vast majority of people think of them as the same thing.)

A wire transfer based on SWIFT is the most common payment method in international trade with Asian countries. It typically takes 3-5 working days to clear, and generally costs between 25 and 50 USD, depending on your agreement with the commercial department in your bank.

What Is the Most Common Payment Term Requested by Chinese Suppliers?

You get all the information that you need to know from the suppliers.
You send a 30% deposit (by T/T payment) before production starts.
Your supplier (the manufacturer & exporter) purchases the components and/or materials and arranges the production.
You have the suppliers inspect product quality before shipment.
You send the remaining 70% (by T/T payment) before shipment.
The supplier ships the goods and sends you the documents by express courier.

In graphical form, it looks like this:

How to Make T/T Payment?

Contact the commercial department of your bank, tell them you need to wire (for example) 25,000 USD to a company in China, and they will generally give you a form to fill out. If you do T/T payments frequently, your bank probably has an ‘internet banking’ application that will save you time.

Your supplier will probably send you a pro forma invoice that includes their bank account information. I strongly suggest you ask for that information earlier (as part of your pre-qualification of a potential supplier).

After you have done this, take a screenshot, or get a digital copy, and send it to your supplier.

Important tips:

Make sure to avoid any misspelling, which might cause the payment instruction to be held in limbo for weeks!
You will need to write the company name in English, not in Chinese. Don’t try to do your own translation job, even if your written Chinese is excellent! It has to match exactly the English name that is registered in the seller’s bank records.
If the company name is too long, keep writing it in the “address 1” field. This is sometimes mentioned on the T/T payment forms of banks that work a lot with China.

Other Payment Methods?

For small orders, other payment methods such as Paypal and credit cards are also acceptable.
