Planning is essential

Whilst you are happily planning your launch here in Australia its absolutely imperative if you are looking at getting your componentry offshore that you factor in major holidays and closures.

Too often do clients miss one of the biggest and well know holidays within manufacturing which is The Chinese New Year celebrations and the date for this festive occasion is different from year to year.   

For example if you are planning to launch mid March, ensure your products are on the water well before Christmas.  However, should you put your order in during January hoping for the best and they manage to get everything ready before they close down, chances are you won’t get any cargo space just when you need it.  

Remember, there is always a backlog when our suppliers return to work and space is tight on shipping vessels.   So, plan around every contingency you can think of so you aren’t left empty handed.

As we enter into the Year of the Dragon, we at Roxi Productions wish you all a “Xin Nian Kuai Le”
