 Cost and Lost of Shipping Delays In Export/Import Business

The topic becomes big common case or problem to every export/import company around the world and the company which runs in this industry needs to consider strongly on the impact of cost and lost of shipping delays.

Most of the time, it happens on the site of exporters/suppliers due to weak operational management in production line and in dealing with producers which could not meet as requested and agreed before.

Export and Import Shipping

On the other hand, it could be the cause of importers in some cases like slow response in specification, late sample order, late advance payment to start production and so on. But it is rare. The reason is that order comes from importers and they send all the necessary documents before production and shipping deadline is confirmed.

So, most of the time, cost and lost of shipping delays are strongly affected on importers. As results, importers lost sales, lost customers and overstock for all late products. Not only these, but also the customers or retailers who deal with certain import company can think the importer is not reliable, loss trust and will not buy or deal in the future anymore. Then importer loss again future customers and business can not run properly anymore which even can force to stop the business.

Thus, though it is hard and something can be out of control, good communication and quick response between exporters/suppliers and importers will play important role to prevent such cost and lost of shipping delays. Once purchase order is confirmed, person in charge from export should check well in order to make sure all the processes are going well in production line and importer should also keep often contact to meet shipping deadline as it is planed.

Otherwise, cost and lost of shipping delays could be lost of everything in export and import trading business.
