2. Product Supply and Delivery Time for Customers in Product Packaging

📦 Introduction

In the world of business, especially in domestic trade and exports, supply time, proper packaging, and timely delivery are among the most important pillars of success.
Many Arad traders focus on production or finding customers, but if they are not careful in this final stage, all their efforts may go to waste.

🕒 Importance of Supply Time (Lead Time)

Lead Time, or supply time, is the period between order registration and the product being ready for shipment.
If you cannot manage this time correctly, customers will become discouraged and switch to other suppliers.

✅ Key Points:

1️⃣ Before accepting an order, check the exact inventory of your supplier's warehouse or factory.
2️⃣ Have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with your suppliers and manufacturers to ensure precise and transparent supply time.
3️⃣ Always maintain a Buffer Stock or safety stock to meet urgent customer needs in case of delays.

🟠 Product Packaging

Packaging is one of the most critical stages of product shipment.

Its role is not just aesthetic; from a Logistics and supply chain perspective, protecting the product from physical damage, moisture, contamination, and temperature changes is very important.

✅ Features of Professional Packaging:

1️⃣ Physical Resistance: The packaging must withstand impact, pressure, and vibration. For example, in exports, multi-layer cartons or Corrugated Boxes are often used.

2️⃣ Optimal Dimensions: The packaging should not be too large to increase shipping costs or too small to damage the product.

3️⃣ Insulation and Safety: If the product is sensitive to moisture or heat, use Insulated Packaging or isolated packaging.

4️⃣ Complete Information: Include details such as the trader's name, address, contact number, destination country, necessary warnings like "Fragile," "This Side Up," and tracking number.

🟡 Shipping Schedule and Transportation Method Selection

After packaging, the most important decision is choosing the transportation method.

🚛 Land Transport: Suitable for large volumes and nearby destinations.
✈️ Air Transport: The fastest method, suitable for lightweight and high-value goods.
🚢 Sea Transport: Suitable for bulk and cheaper exports but time-consuming.

✅ Key Points:

• Consider the customer's expected delivery time.

• Assess shipping routes and potential risks (such as sanctions or weather changes).

• Always have transportation insurance to cover damages in case of accidents.

⚖️ Documentation and Legal Transparency

Along with packaging, you must also pay attention to legal and customs documents.

These documents include:

• Packing List: A list of items in each package, quantity, weight, dimensions, and other details.

• Invoice: An official invoice including product value, specifications, and payment terms.

• Certificate of Origin: Origin certificate for exports.

• HS Code: Customs tariff code (Harmonized System Code).

These documents prevent potential delays at borders and legal issues.

💬 Importance of Customer Communication

Throughout these stages, clear communication with the customer is critically important.

• At every moment, the customer should know the status of their order.

• Use Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software or at least a simple Excel sheet for notifications.

• A text message or direct call before final shipment for coordination will multiply customer trust.

🟢 Conclusion

Many traders think their job is done after finding a customer and receiving payment, but the truth is that real business begins at the packaging and delivery stage.

✔️ Adhering to supply time (Lead Time)
✔️ Safe and professional packaging
✔️ Correct shipping method selection
✔️ Precise document preparation
