Production lead time:
Manufacturer of indoor plantation shutters are available in Australia, but we see many is made in China where their factory’s capability to handle the orders are massive compared with most small to medium factories here in Melbourne are less equipped in terms of machines, smaller premise and less labour hired and low productivity.
Why does it take so long to get from oversea ?
- Shutter are made very fast in the factory
- Container Consolidation
Depending on the your supplier ( read our article about Plantation Shutters Supply Chain), big retailer may have large market share, and can easily fill one container faster, and which means you will get your order faster. While for some small business who has less business presence in the market, and in return it will take a while for them to bring your order as no one will take your order one by one or in LCL basis from oversea, which are risky and more expensive freight charge.
- Logistics across borders
