Under normal circumstances, longer delivery time is known to be a
major challenge peculiar with sea freight shipping. But as it is, the
menace also affects air freight during the yuletide or holiday periods, with no
sign of a different expectation this year. But what might be the major cause of
the delayed shipping in December particularly?
If there is one piece of warning service providers offer their
clients/customers in any type of business, (especially logistics) before the
yuletide periods, then it is definitely on time-consciousness. Relatively, in
shipping (whether importation or exportation), the clients should have a better
plan by consulting a more reliable freight forwarding company to advise
and guide through the process, earlier enough before the December rush.
Every year, it gets worse as shipping delay threatens the
Christmas and New Year holidays and this year won’t be an exception.
Most interesting yet unpleasant, is the fact that most people have
plans to take advantage of the yuletide rush to amass sales but for the delays,
this might not happen. Many
importers have had expectations to receive their consignment in order to
prepare for several events in the yuletide such as partying, gifting etc, but
would be cut short by the menace.
What
we expect our clients to do is to give us a call in to seek advice, request a
quote online and get the best shipping guide in order to avoid delayed shipping
in December.
But
What Are The Causes Of Delays?
Shipment delays are caused by several factors. About a week ago,
12th of December, 2019 to be precise, FedEx and UPS
were reportedly facing shipping delays due to the holiday surge. Obviously,
this is basically speaking of congestion as more people are ordering or
importing goods within this period.
On the other side, more goods are entering the port through
importation/exportation. And so, there is a high expectation of the arrival of consignments
by millions of people around the globe, at the same time.
Consequently, certain other factors may affect cargo movements.
They are;
1.
Disruption of flight
arrangements in air shipping of goods.
2.
A large influx of goods for
import or export
3.
Logistics Constraints within the period
4.
Lack of proper coordination of the freights
5.
Heavy travelling by air.
There is a high volume of passengers over cargo leading to hike in the cost of
shipment of cargoes, especially by air.
6.
Weather condition or Climate
change, especially in air freight.
7.
Thorough Customs Checking
process where the service is 100% customs clearing.
8.
Delay of Vessels within the yuletide period

What Can I Do To Avoid Delayed Shipping In December
Well, to prevent delay, you want to request a Quote much earlier. Ensure
all shipping arrangements are made before the rush hours. The earlier the
shipping arrangements, the better for all of us as we would not have to witness
any form of delay in the arrival of your consignments.
How Much More Days Am I To Wait For My Consignment?
Unfortunately, we ask the same question. How many more days are
there to wait for our clients’ deliveries? 2 days, 1 week? 1 month more?
Apparently, there is an uncontrollable condition probably responsible for this
challenge which takes place this time, every year.
However,
the situation could have been controlled should there have been an earlier
consultation as our professionals are ever ready to attend to the immediate
need of her clients.
