Shipping rounds Clause Samples
The "Shipping rounds" clause defines the schedule and process by which goods are shipped in multiple batches or installments rather than all at once. Typically, this clause outlines the timing, quantity, and sequence of each shipment, and may specify how each round is confirmed or adjusted based on production or demand. Its core practical function is to provide a structured framework for phased delivery, which helps manage inventory, cash flow, and logistics for both the buyer and seller.
Shipping rounds. The client may instruct Sarawak to carry out a shipping round, which is a shipment sent to multiple addresses simultaneously. The contents of the shipment can be tailored based on the delivery address. The costs depend on several factors, such as the number of delivery addresses, the fulfilment activities, the size and weight of the items, the shipping costs and the deadlines. For this reason, a separate quotation must always be drafted for each shipping round. Sarawak requires the following information to issue a quotation: ✓ Address list: preferably based on a list created by Sarawak (with the unique IDs needed for importing data). To streamline the shipping process and reduce the risk of errors, the format and source of the address data should be discussed prior to the shipping round. ✓ Items: an overview of the items required for the shipping round, including information such as dimensions and weight. ✓ Fulfilment: a summary of the items in the packages (are all packages the same or do the items differ per delivery address?). ✓ Special wishes: an accompanying letter specifying any packaging wishes or requirements. ✓ Timing: an overview of when the products will be delivered, when the address list will be provided and the preferred delivery deadline. Once the quotation and schedule have been approved, it is important that the agreed deadlines are met. Sarawak will endeavour to be as flexible as possible in the execution of the shipping rounds; however, failure to meet the agreed deadlines may affect the quality, cost and final shipping deadline. Sarawak will notify the client immediately should a change in the agreements have implications for the costs.
