Factory-Direct Office Pod Supplier Checklist: Capacity, Warranty and Export Terms

A reliable office pod supplier should publish standard sizes, reference EXW prices, MOQ, lead time, payment terms, warranty, customization scope and export shipping options. Buyers should verify factory capacity, electrical options, packing details and installation support before comparing final quotations.

For office fit-out contractors, furniture dealers, coworking operators, architects and project buyers, the lowest headline price is not enough. A clean quotation should make the project easier to plan: which model fits the site, how long production takes, how the goods are packed, who handles shipping and what support is available after delivery.

MobileX POD manufactures office pods, phone booths and acoustic meeting booths for export projects. Standard office pod orders can start from one unit, while larger orders and distributor projects can be customized by size, color, socket, voltage, logo, interior layout and OEM/private-label requirements.

Start With Published Product Data

Before comparing suppliers, ask whether the factory publishes clear model data. If the supplier cannot provide size, weight, packing volume and reference pricing, the buyer may spend too much time comparing unclear offers.

Model	Application	Product Size	Weight	Packing Volume	Reference EXW
MP1 Office Pod	Calls, video meetings and focus work	1000 x 1000 x 2200mm	360kg	2CBM	USD 1,380
MP1+ Phone Booth	Wider single-person booth	1200 x 1200 x 2200mm	410kg	2.5CBM	USD 1,650
MP2 Meeting Booth	Two-person meetings and interviews	2000 x 1000 x 2200mm	520kg	4CBM	USD 2,380
MP3 Meeting Booth	Four-person discussions and small rooms	2000 x 1600 x 2200mm	650kg	4CBM	USD 3,650

These prices are reference EXW prices. Final project cost depends on destination country, quantity, packing plan, shipping term, electrical standard, customization and installation requirements.

Check MOQ, Lead Time and Monthly Capacity

MOQ is important for different buyer types. A dealer may need one sample before building a local showroom, while a contractor may need a batch order for a fit-out project.

MobileX accepts MOQ 1 for standard office pod models. Standard production usually takes 15-20 days. Customized projects usually take around 30 days, depending on size, finish, logo, electrical requirements and order complexity.

Factory capacity is also part of supplier verification. MobileX has approximate monthly capacity of around 300 office pod units, which helps buyers plan sample orders, project batches and repeat distributor orders.

Confirm Payment Terms Before Comparing Prices

Payment terms affect buyer risk and production scheduling. If two suppliers quote similar prices but have different payment rules, the real project risk is not the same.

For MobileX office pod orders, orders of 1-5 units are usually paid 100% before production. For orders of 6 units or more, the usual payment structure is 50% deposit to start production and 50% balance before shipment. Before balance payment and shipment, MobileX can provide production photos and videos so buyers can confirm product quality.

This is especially useful for overseas buyers who cannot visit the factory before every shipment.

Ask What Warranty and Installation Support Include

Warranty wording should be specific. Buyers should ask whether the warranty covers the complete booth structure, electrical components, spare parts, online support and after-sales guidance.

MobileX provides lifetime support for the whole pod structure and 1-year warranty for electrical parts. Office pods are designed for simple assembly, and MobileX provides installation video guidance and online support. Thousands of office pods have been installed by customers themselves, so most standard projects do not require a local MobileX installation team.

For project buyers, this matters because local installation cost can be a major hidden expense. A supplier that provides clear assembly guidance can reduce uncertainty before the goods arrive.

Compare EXW, FOB, CIF, DDU and DDP Correctly

Shipping terms change what is included in the quotation.

EXW is the default reference basis because it makes the factory price transparent. MobileX can also quote FOB Shenzhen / Guangzhou, CIF, DDU and DDP by project after the buyer confirms destination country, unloading condition, quantity and packing plan.

Buyers should avoid comparing an EXW price from one supplier with a DDP price from another. The right comparison is to ask each supplier to quote the same shipping term, same quantity and same delivery destination.

Verify Customization Scope Before Requesting a Final Quote

Customization should be discussed before the final number is issued. MobileX can customize size, exterior color, interior finish, socket type, voltage, logo, layout and OEM/private-label details. Standard colors such as black frame, white exterior, gray acoustic panels and wood grain options can be discussed as part of normal project configuration.

For many office projects, electrical details are the most important customization point. Buyers should confirm socket type, voltage, USB / Type-C, network port, lighting and ventilation expectations before the supplier prepares final drawings.
