Xi 'an exports to Montreal, Canada, and plans to arrive within 40 days. At present, this restriction is basically impossible to guarantee, and there are relatively few containers in Canada. The date of shipment and the actual location must be booked in advance. It is suggested that the subject first negotiate with the buyer whether the delivery date can be extended or FOB can be used to reduce the freight risk!
Summarized as follows:
You can't get there by sea for 40 days. Now the ship is seriously delayed. For North America, especially the east coast, it is at least 14 days late. In addition, if the voyage is at least 25-30 days, the transportation time from Xi 'an to the port city should also be included.
Goods shipped from Xi are usually transported by land to warehouses in Qingdao or Shanghai, and then shipped by sea. If a large number of exports and the delivery date are acceptable, we can consider pulling Shanghai down by Yangtze River barge and then changing it to a big ship for export.
I suggest that when you talk with foreign businessmen about the delivery date, you should take the date of bill of lading as the deadline, because it is difficult to accurately determine the arrival date of the goods in Hong Kong at present, not to mention the delay of the shipping time. It is not unusual to delay 7 days in the near ocean, and it is basically more than 2 weeks in North America.
