How is this packaged for shipment? Will the packaging withstand being forwarded on a container ship?

I don't think there would be any problem. I have lived overseas and have had furniture shipped several times on container ships with minimal problems. This desk assembly was packed better than my household goods ever were.

The packaging is pretty heavy duty - boxes are stapled shut and then secured with plastic ties. Inside there were Styrofoam pieces surrounding the treadmill so that it didn't shift around. I'm not sure what a container ship is, but I would say the packaging was very secure.

Where on the container ship will it be located? If left out on the deck, the cardboard container probably will not withstand that kind of weathering--rain, sea spray, etc. If it is packed with your household goods in a container, it should withstand the journey. My box was delivered directly from Utah to South Carolina with little evidence of any mishandling to the carton. The cardboard the compay usess to pack the device in is pretty strong and reinforced with more thick cardboard. All the same you may want to consider getting some insurance to cover any potential damage during the voyage, especially if it is subjected to rough handling. Hope this helps.

I don't have mine still, but it was definitely retail packaging. Something inside to hold it in place and then a box around it all. Pretty nice, really.

I ordered two and they both shipped in collapsible form. As long as they are consistent in their packaging I would expect it to arrive the same way for you.

Mine was packaged well. Had enough damping inside the box to protect it. Plus the case itself wont let your contents move around.

The box it is delivered in is a pretty good size, but the float itself is contained in a pretty small round, flat package. Very easy to pack.

It is shipped on a pallet with shrink wrapping to keep it in place. There is also some cardboard to keep it in place.

The storage handling on the label states to store at controlled temperatures. It would be assumed that shipping and handling should also be at controlled temperatures. However, "controlled temperatures" is not clarified. I store mine where it will be cool and not frozen or subject to hot temperatures.

Thank you for your question. I am not entirely clear on the nature of the question; however, if you are asking about the possibility of the item arriving in anything less than mint condition then please be advised that we cannot force the postal service to handle every package properly -- damage does occur on occasion. Still, we have a success rate of over 99% for items arriving as described. We ship the item in a sturdy cardboard shipping tube that should protect it sufficiently while the package is in transit. In cases where an item arrives damaged, we generally ask the buyer to provide us with a digital picture of the item and the shipping container so that we can confirm the damage. Once this has been taken care of, we generally send a free replacement if we have ne in stock or issue a full refund for the order if we do not. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else. Thanks Matt Bananaroad

It came in a poster box, no stronger than any other cardboard box, long and skinny. Somewhere along the line, USPS personnel must have bent the box right in half and delivered it still bent, thus causing a terrible crease across the entire poster. If you're lucky enough that the package is in good, caring hands, it should be just fine. Good luck!

Mine arrived without any breaks, cracks or other problems. It was boxed and not bubble-wrapped or packed in Styrofoam etc. If I remember correctly, it was just the box you would have bought it in from a traditional store, but with a shipping label on it.

It is protected in the box with really tough cardboard. This should protect it from pretty much any shipping impact

I received my item in a sturdy cardboard tube. The stickers are grouped into about four or five separate sheets rolled up in the tube so they will have to be flattened out before placing on your wall for the best results. The package itself however is fairly sturdy and it should be fine to ship a long distance.

It came wrapped in bubble wrap in a box through the fedex. The box was a little banged up but the storage tower was intact.

It is sent in a long narrow shipping carton. Ours arrived in perfect condition. Nice product.

It is shipped sealed in original manufacturers packaging inside an amazon box. Well-protected. You will be happy with the shipping.

I just received one a couple weeks ago, love it btw. It comes rolled up in a vacuum sealed plastic bag inside a card board box. I don't see any reason why you can't leave it packaged for as long as you need.
