FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Container Update

Dear Valued Customer;

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
"Deal with Honest and Transparent Partners"

Many nail importers have taken to “drastic actions” in order to curtail losses and are not meeting their obligations of shipping nail orders/ containers as contractually agreed to. These actions would appear to violate the basic tenants of an agreement between buyer and seller to deliver material at an agreed upon price at an agreed upon time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Urgent Nail Update

Dear Valued Customer;

YOUR NAIL CONTAINER WILL BE LATE

If you placed an order in the early fall and your container was to ship in December it will most likely be 30 – 45 days late. If your order was to ship in January for March delivery it could be 6 to 8 weeks late, as the container shortage will mean many January loads wont ship, and then they will have to wait till the plants reopen On March 1. As we have been warning for the past few months the supply chain is broke. When orders get that far backed up for shipping , eventually the plants have to stop producing because they have no floor space to store additional production before shipping. It is finite.  Please click the link to the two articles published in the Journal of Commercial , the Trade publication for global shipping.

ROOFING NAILS

Why are your nail containers late? Are they late because your shipper won’t pay the current freight rate or are they late because your shipper does not have an on-site presence to oversee the process, or even a large enough volume to secure container space? This is one of those times when only the most important nail providers are being treated correctly and only if you’re on top of it. You can’t do that from behind a computer screen, you have to have an on-site presence to have an impact. Additionally, some “nail brokers” can’t afford to pay the current rates to get your nail containers moved with freight increases averaging over $2,200 each over previous periods. At CMI we have the regular volume to get our containers shipped, and we never let the current freight rates dictate our obligations to ship your cargo.
