FAQ

What is transit time vs lead time?

Transit time is the time goods are physically in motion. Lead time (order to delivery) includes order processing, production, transit and customs clearance. ETA is calculated from dispatch.

How do I communicate ETA to customers?

Share a range (best case to worst case), be proactive about delays, share tracking information and provide a single point of contact. Surprising customers with delays damages more trust than an upfront longer ETA.

What causes transit time delays in India?

Common causes: port congestion, transshipment delays, customs holds, document errors, inland transport delays and weather. Budget extra days for festive seasons and year-end.
