Shipping & Pickup

PLEASE CLICK ON THE BAR BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION IN EACH SECTION.

  • Shipping from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to Flagstaff, Arizona, is included in the cost of the yurt. This includes all import fees and taxes, training, cargo ship, trucks, and container costs. 
  • We can hold a yurt in Flagstaff for pickup for 30 days from the date of delivery in Flagstaff. Longer-term storage options can be arranged after 30 days for an additional fee of $100-$ 200 per month.
  • Vehicle – To pick up the yurt, you will need at least a full-size pick-up truck and trailer, depending on the size of your yurt. A cargo van or a small U-Haul can also work. The 8-wall will need something bigger.
  • Weight – A 4-wall yurt weighs about 1,000 pounds; a 5-wall is about 1,200 pounds; a 6-wall is 1,500 pounds; an 8-wall is about 2,000 pounds.
  • Dimensions – When planning, please give special notice to the crown/roof diameter, door width and height, crown/roof support pole, and roof pole lengths. These will be the largest, fixed measurements you need to accommodate. Please look at our Yurt Detail page and the Measurements and Dimensions sections for these measurements.
  • All painted wood parts are wrapped with a protective, slightly quilted, padded polyester fabric. This includes all wood parts except for the walls.

 

  • The yurt is packaged as follows:
    • Windows and Doors – These will be covered in quilted material.
      • There will be 1-4 packages depending on your order specifications.
    • Roof/Crown – These will be covered in quilted material.
      • One package

      • 1-3 packages, depending on the yurt size.
    • Roof Poles – These will be covered in quilted material.

    • Walls – Up to 9 feet long when collapsed.
      • These will be tied in 1-2 bundles, depending on the yurt size.

      • Roof felt is a loosely tied bundle.

  • We share updates of the shipping progress as we receive them, from leaving Mongolia to reaching California and everything in between, to aid in planning your pick-up logistics.
  • We usually do not have the exact date and time for the container’s arrival in Flagstaff until 3-10 days before. Once the container reaches the California coast, the rest of the process happens quickly. 
  • Below are some photos of 5 and 6-wall yurts loaded for transport.
  • There is one photo of a 6-wall yurt to be loaded without the door and no windows
  • Please see the photo above for how the yurts are packaged. They are loose or hand-packed. They are not boxed in crates or on pallets. 
  • For short distances (in the Southwest) yurts can be delivered beyond Flagstaff to your door within 35 days of their arrival in Flagstaff. This will be roughly $4.00 per mile one-way. Costs can vary depending on location and the number of yurts being delivered.
  • For longer distances, we work with a freight company to deliver yurts to the closest freight terminal to you. Contact us for price quotes.
  • We can ship by air to anywhere in the world. 
  • Additional shipping costs start at $5,000 + land transportation and import fees and taxes.
  • Contact us today if you are interested in air freight.

Please Note:  

  • Delivery is 12-16 weeks from the date the order was placed.
  • This is air freight and must be shipped to an air freight terminal.
  • Because it is a smaller shipping space, the crown/roof of the yurt comes in two parts that are screwed together.
  • Some countries’ import rules and regulations could make this option impossible.
  • We can arrange shipping from Mongolia to the country’s port of entry only.
  • The customer is responsible for all other expenses and arrangements, including customs fees, duties, taxes, and VAT required for customs’ clearance, working with a local freight forwarding broker to make arrangements for pick-up or for further transportation to your final location.
  • If you are shipping by air to the United States, we can help you with the local broker arrangements.
