FORNUTRA understands that delivery timelines are an important consideration for global supplement brands. The total delivery time depends on multiple factors, including product development, manufacturing schedule, shipping method, destination country and customs clearance.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is commonly used for bulk supplement orders due to its cost efficiency.
The overall timeline depends on:
- Product production requirements
- Order quantity
- Shipping schedule
- Destination
- Customs clearance process
Air Freight
Air freight is suitable for customers who require faster delivery or smaller shipment quantities.
Compared with sea freight, air shipping provides shorter transit times but higher transportation costs.
Express Shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS)
Express delivery is commonly used for:
- Product samples
- Small trial orders
- Urgent shipments
It provides faster delivery and convenient shipment tracking.
Common Causes of Delivery Delays
Peak Season Congestion
August-October shipping capacity is tightest ahead of holiday retail season.
Incomplete Documentation
The most common preventable delay. We prepare all documents during production to avoid this.
Port Congestion
Varies by destination port and season. Your freight forwarder can advise on current conditions.
Customs Inspection
Random or targeted inspections can add 1-5 days. Accurate HS codes and descriptions minimize this risk.
