Why SMTL change the request date too urgently ??
1. Shipment schedule.
The PO 278411 issued on 11/4.
Request delivery date was 12/22.
But they request to pull delivery date about 20 days. (12/2)
I think, It is impossible to change the shipment date.
Current shipment date : ETD 11/26
The vessel is every Tuesday.
If we pull the shipment schedule, we should ship on ETD 11/19.
And if we arrange the shipment on ETD 11/19, we should ship out from the factory today.
So, our best shipment schedule ETD 11/26.
(Actually, I worried about that the maker can complete ETD 11/26 or not, because the SMTL lead time is too short)
2. Request Lead time.
Could you please request to change the Lead time to SMTL ?
I think that the lead time of SMTL might be 45 days.
ex) PO278686 (today issued PO)
Issuing date : 11/14
Request date : 12/26
Lead time : 42 days.
Actually we need the time for shipment around 1 month from PO issuing date at least.
So, If the PO issued on 11/14, our earliest shipment date is around ETD 12/14.
Anyway, Could you please request to change the lead time to 60days from 45 days ?
ex) PO278686 (today issued PO)
Requesting Issuing date : 10/26
IF SMTL Request date : 12/26
Lead time : 60 days.
=>Issuing date : 10/26 → shipment date : 11/26 → ETA Bangkok : 12/6 → ETA EBC : 12/16
P.S. *Firstly, SATL lead time was 45 days. But they changed 60 days for our requesting.
Please check and confirm us.
