| NAV-F102 · B | UV-coated pine · assembled | Fully assembled, one carton | 70 × 70 × 60 | 21.2 | 0.294 |

Compare assembled and knock-down versions before requesting freight
The Faceted Pine Cat Hideaway, NAV-F102, shows why a product name alone is not a complete shipping brief. Versions A and B are supplied assembled and glued; version C is knock-down. All three list one unit per carton. The table uses the current supplier configuration records, not independently measured packing samples.
A and B each list a 70 × 70 × 60 cm carton: 0.294 m³. C lists 50 × 50 × 23 cm: 0.0575 m³. For 100 units as a calculation example, that is 29.4 m³ versus 5.75 m³ of carton volume, a difference of 23.65 m³, or about 80.4%. This quantity is not a minimum order, and the volume difference is not a promised freight-cost saving or container loading plan.
The smaller carton shifts work to assembly. For version C, confirm the fittings, glue requirements, instructions, assembly sequence and finished stability with a sample. A uses an unpainted natural finish; B and C list a UV finish. Cushions are not included in these F102 configurations. Compare the supplied product and assembly responsibility, not the box size alone.
- Ask who assembles the hideaway: your warehouse, a retail team or the end customer.
- Request the current packing sample and a complete parts list for the chosen version.
- Check edge protection and whether the instructions make the assembly steps clear. Do not assume a smaller box has passed a transport test.
Start with the full packing list
The current F101, F102 and F103 furniture configuration records include carton dimensions and weights. Packing availability differs by model: the H008, H013 and H031 wooden-house records give assembled sizes but still require current carton measurements and carton counts. Do not use furniture packing data for those houses.
Request one line per model and configuration, with cartons per sellable unit, units per carton and all carton sizes. For a multi-carton product, counting only the largest carton would omit part of the shipment. Separate optional accessories from the standard package.
- Confirm packed gross weight, carton identification and packing photos.
- Ask whether assembly hardware and instructions are inside the package or shipped separately.
- Keep the approved sample, quotation and packing list on the same model and version.
Calculate volume, then confirm the freight basis
For dimensions in centimetres, carton volume in cubic metres is length × width × height ÷ 1,000,000. For millimetres, divide by 1,000,000,000. Add every carton needed for one unit, then multiply by the order quantity. Do not multiply assembled dimensions to estimate shipping volume.
The downloadable worksheet below keeps F101, F102 and F103 versions separate and lets you enter planning quantities. Its totals represent listed cartons only. Pallets, protective packing, stacking constraints and the carrier's charging rules can change the actual shipping basis. Ask a forwarder for a quote against the final packing list and route.
Match protection and the quotation to the route
Ask for edge and corner protection, hardware separation, moisture precautions and any available packing-test evidence for the exact package. Review which parts can be replaced if a panel or fitting is damaged, and agree how a shortage or damage claim will be documented.
The quotation should name the agreed trade term and location, included charges and exclusions. Confirm who arranges freight, insurance, import clearance and final delivery. Do not infer these from a product-page price or a packing dimension.
Give your buying team a usable packing brief
Send your selected model and version, estimated quantity, destination, assembly preference and delivery point. Add the unresolved checks from your sample review. This produces a more comparable quotation than asking for a general catalogue price.
- Record carton dimensions and gross weight separately from the assembled product size.
- Confirm included accessories, instructions and packing changes before approving the order.
- Ask the forwarder to identify excluded charges and the basis of any dimensional-weight calculation.
