I understand we can better service customers.
Nevertheless, within the last 10 years of practicing this business we had very few cases of FOB shipments requirements.
We should avoid doing this as experience has proven that in most cases we ended up with differences in amounts always at our disadvantage.
Our clients’ accounts ledger are full of unpaid small differences which (also created by unpaid bank charges). 90% of these are to be written off.
when we inform clients its after shipment and they usually tell us that bank charges for such small amount is too much and that they will pay later….
The difficulty is that there are fixed FOB cost that we can predict accurately but then some other charges fluctuate according to volume.
Claiming back clients said amounts discrepancies such as 40/60 dollars is costly as well on our side.
Sawitree is the most appropriate person to give you the FOB charges.
