Combine shipments

Some frequent customers will place several orders within one month to custom makeup brushes with normal or new design. For example, some may order blush brushes and powder brushes on July 1^st, and then place order for eye brushes and lip brushes on July 15^th; some may order brushes on July 10^th and order boxes/bags on July 25^th….. It is not because they like many orders but they have different demand in different time.

If customers are not in urgent need of the brushes or boxes, to save shipping cost, they will require the makeup brush manufacturer to combine some shipments together. For example, they place 5 orders in July, and the normal lead time is 30 days, so if not urgent, they may would like the makeup brush manufacturer to ship all 5 orders by the end of August. In this case, although some orders can be finished by the end of July, the manufacturer will have to hold the shipment for about one month.

Since it is customer’s requirements to combine shipments, it is certainly good to the customer. For the makeup brush manufacturer, it is both advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is it decreases all related shipping preparation and documents. It is known that for international shipments, each shipment needs a set of documents and related job, 5 shipments will need 5 sets documents and 5 custom declarations. So shipment combination greatly saves time and money for manufacturers in customs. The disadvantage is that it somewhat affect the manufacturer’s Capital Returning. The payment terms is usually 50% prepay and 50% before shipment. If the shipments are held, the balance payment will also be held. It is really not good to manufacturer’s resource flow.

To support customers and ensure long term cooperation, most makeup brush manufacturer will agree with the shipments combination. Toney will also try our best to offer better service for customers all over the world.
