Peak planning

Due to the ongoing supply chain crisis causing ongoing lumpiness in the arrival of stock – we are continually reviewing our capacity to receive product into our warehouse.

In the instance that we do not have capacity to devan within our existing service level agreement days we will notify the customer on the timeframe for the containers to be devanned.

In this instance we are unable to accept any liability for detention charges.

Liability outside of SLAs

We are not able to accept any liability for demurrage or detention when the factors are beyond our control due to unavailability of VBS bookings, congestion or multiple shipments for a single customer arriving at the same time. Any liability that is agreed to, will relate to business days only.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding Detention Liability

How we count days across all SLAs

Day 0: Day of notification if received before 2pm, if received after 2pm Day 0 is next day.

For example:

Scenario 1: Email notification received Monday 12 noon – Monday is Day 0.

Scenario 2: Email notification received Monday 2pm – Monday is Day 0.

Business Days

Business days exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays.
