Why “It’s Shipped” Isn’t Enough in Global Trade
🕒 In international trade, hearing “It’s shipped” is supposed to bring relief. But what if the cargo doesn’t reach your buyer when promised? In that case, a shipping update is just noise.
In exports, on-time dispatch does not always equal on-time delivery. The difference defines whether you’re simply a supplier or a trusted trade partner.
Common Mistakes Exporters Make
Many exporters measure punctuality only by dispatch dates. But that misses the bigger picture:
- Ports can face congestion
- Vessel schedules shift
- Buyer timelines may differ from production timelines
The result? Goods leave on time but arrive late, damaging trust and reputation.
What Defines a Truly “On-Time” Export Partner?
Let’s break it down:
- A) Just sends shipping updates – Communication, not reliability.
- B) Ships as per factory availability – Efficient for production, but blind to buyer needs.
- C) Coordinates with buyer timelines + port schedules ✅ – The gold standard in exports.
- D) Leaves you to follow up with forwarders – A recipe for delays.
The answer is clear: A dependable partner goes beyond shipping; they manage delivery from end to end.
