We would like to inform you of some important updates regarding our pricing and payment terms and the reasons why.

Over the past couple of weeks, key shipping and ferry routes have begun to close or face disruption due to the escalating tensions. This is already slowing down the movement of containers into Europe and the UK, with delays starting to build across the network.

Due to the ongoing global conflict, we are experiencing significant impacts on our supply chain, particularly in relation to container availability and rapidly increasing fuel costs. In some instances, we have absorbed fuel surcharges of up to 20%.

While we will continue to provide quotations as accurately as possible, please be aware that all prices are now subject to fluctuation and may need to be revised at short notice. We strongly encourage customers to act promptly on quotations, as the current situation is unlikely to improve in the near term. Currently we have most type of containers in stock however when current stocks are absorbed the enroute supply will be at the prevailing rate.

Our current payment terms remain at 7 days from the date of invoice. However, given the ongoing instability in pricing, we may need to review this policy. In some cases, it may become necessary to request earlier payment in order to secure and lock in quoted prices.

As a result, prices across the market are becoming highly volatile and may change on a day-to-day basis.

We will, of course, communicate any such changes clearly and in advance.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this challenging period. If you have any questions or would like to discuss specific orders, please do not hesitate to contact us.
