外贸出货旺季，需要注意哪些细节？

1告知货期需谨慎

工厂一忙，各种情况都可能发生。告知客户货期一定要预留多几天，采用迂回方式告知客户货期具体是多少工作日(working days) 但会尽快安排生产，争取早点出货。

2报运费时要注意

旺季运费浮动得厉害，之前我已经分享过表达了，这里再附上：

报海运费一定要加上有效期。Please be noted it will be valid within 1 week because of the busy shipping season.

要强调运费因为旺季有所浮动。会更新给客户变动的价格，尽量维持最好的价格给他：There is fluctuation on the freight charge. We'll try our best to keep you best rate for you and update it accordingly.

和客户说明 Final freight cost will be charged at actual. 以最后出的运费账单为准。避免旺季运费变动，把价格说死了，到时不好和客户回旋。

3出运前得上心

一定要多和车间保持沟通，知道做货进展。
一定要多拍点照片留底，实时和客户反馈。
一定要提前通知客户做货情况，款到发货。
一定要在发货前点好数量，确认好大货品质。
一定要贴好装箱标识，避免清关麻烦。
一定要检查包装，海运散货及空运要加强包装。
出货前很操心很忙，这才是常态。好过过后客户投诉时再如热锅上的蚂蚁急得团团转。

4. 外贸货期延误，如何告知客户？

之前有分享沟通思路和模板，这里不赘述。请戳：

外贸案例 | 如何应对货期延迟 （下）

但请记得两点：

• 告知货期预留时间
• 实时跟进生产进展

这样才能更及早地通知到客户货期延误。在出货前一两天再去告诉客户，真的很遭反感，遇到暴脾气的分分钟炸起来。因为他们如果是等着这批货做活动，那边一切安排妥当，只差物料就绪。临时才告知，除了误事，还会让他们觉得你很不负责任，即便有再多的理由，都很难听进去。

5. 外贸货运爆仓，如何安抚客户？

出现爆仓，第一时间要hold住，不必急着告诉客户。货代手里头都有很多个渠道，你也要动用手里头所有的资源去想办法看看能否在保证运费不变动的情况下换渠道走。

每天和货代保持沟通，并且同步更新给客户。在客户问你之前，先告诉他进展，让他觉得你一直很上心在跟进。

还可以从网络上获取一些仓库爆仓，司机排队进仓的照片给客户。因为很多客户对爆舱其实是很模糊的概念，或者一些人口本来不是很多的国家，根本想象不到具体人多货多的场景如何。有照片一目了然，也更能获得客户的同理心。
