In the Sep–Dec peak season, book and deliver to the warehouse 2–3 weeks earlier than usual for sea freight and about 1 week for air or express; the last pre-Christmas sea departure is usually before mid-November.
How much earlier should you ship?
Book and deliver to the warehouse 2–3 weeks earlier than usual for sea freight, 1 week for air/express. The last pre-Christmas sea departure is usually before mid-November.
What should you prepare in advance?
Confirm shippability (assess sensitive goods early), reinforce packing (peak season is rougher), and prepare clearance documents (certifications take time).
Don't delay after arrival
Confirm consolidation and dispatch as soon as cargo reaches the warehouse — earlier confirmation means an earlier vessel.
