ITALY · TWO REAL VILLA PROJECTS
TWO VILLAS. TWO FULL CONTAINERS.
Cargo Clearly handled two separate villa projects from China to Italy, with one full container for each villa. The second container alone covered 121 declaration lines, 94 product descriptions and 322 units—one buyer project, but far more complex than one type of cargo.
A villa is not one product. Every item must be counted and declared.

THE ORDER
One villa can contain dozens of different freight problems.
A whole-villa order can mix sofas, beds, tables, stone and glass. Those products need different packing, customs descriptions and handling. These were two separate villa projects, each using one full container, so each home’s cargo and records remained distinct.
THE HARD PART
Container two held 322 units—not one simple commodity.
The second container had 121 declaration lines, 94 product descriptions and 322 units. Customs cannot clear “one villa” as a single unnamed item. Clear descriptions also give the buyer a usable record: product list, package count and container assignment should agree before departure.
AT THE CHINA WAREHOUSE
Turn many supplier deliveries into one shipment you can understand.
At the China warehouse, supplier deliveries became one transport plan. Products were matched and counted; visible condition, packing, dimensions and weight were recorded. Photos made the mixed cargo recognisable. This receiving check confirmed identity, quantity and visible condition—it did not test functions or certify materials.
THE PRICE
Price the containers that exist—not the shopping list that came first.
Supplier lists supported the first estimate; packed cargo, customs information and the Italian delivery point shaped the final written DDP price. The quote stated transport, customs and tax handling, delivery end point and exclusions. Unloading, lifting, indoor carry, stairs, unpacking and installation count only when written.
THE JOURNEY
Two projects stayed visible as two projects.
One contact sent the warehouse record, final price, booking, departure, European arrival, customs, local delivery and handover updates. These were milestones, not live GPS. The gateway, customs treatment, final vehicle and site access remained specific to each shipment and postcode.
WHAT THIS CASE SHOWS
A large order becomes simpler when every item is made countable.
The proof is the record: two villa projects, two full containers and, in the second container, 121 declaration lines, 94 product descriptions and 322 units. Another order will differ. The repeatable method is to consolidate and document the real goods, confirm one final DDP price and define the delivery boundary before departure.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Questions whole-villa buyers usually ask
Can you combine products from several suppliers in China?
Yes, when the suppliers, products, ready dates and documents are accepted. The warehouse can receive and consolidate the cargo before the final shipment is confirmed.
Does DDP include installation inside the villa?
No, not automatically. The final quote states the accessible delivery point. Unloading, indoor carrying, stairs, unpacking and installation count only when written into the quote.
FURNISHING A HOME OR SMALL PROJECT FROM CHINA?
SEND THE ORDER. WE’LL MAKE THE FREIGHT CLEAR.
A product list, supplier locations and your Italian postcode are enough to start.
