During the recent months – April-June - we have always faced the late arrival of the containers to St-Pete port.
We know that it is connected with our request to arrange ETD at the first days of the months in order to avoid the problems with our Accounting Dept monthly closing.
But when the container are stuck in European transshipment ports or delayed due to any other reason we get the containers too late to meet our clients’ demands.
That is why we would like to ask you to arrange ETD on the 27th-29th day of every month, then we will be on time both for Accounting closing (in case you send us the full set of documents for the shipments) at least the day after ETD and for getting the containers at St-Pete port opportunely.
We understand that there may be no ship for these exact dates every month at the container line you choose.
In this case please advise us about this fact in advance and we will decide together what to do.
Anyway, at the period (from ex-w Beg/February till ex-w End/May) please arrange ETD on the 27th-29th day of the month and if there is no ship, then please arrange earlier ETD as the sales month (April-July) are the pick season for us.
