Although the current textile market is full of news about the shutdown of various thermal power plants, as far as the Wujiang area is concerned, it is difficult to tell the exact time of a dyeing factory’s shutdown, or even the news of stopping warehousing, stopping dyeing, or specific details. Only individual dyeing factories will issue notices at this time. Even some dyeing factory staff gave a vague and approximate time point. All these things give people the impression that they are only a last resort, and they will never let you know the specific holiday time of the dyeing factory.
These unclear production shutdown times make traders who handle orders very passive. It is unknown whether new orders placed by customers can be completed in time, and it is necessary to think twice whether the orders can be accepted. OK.
Don’t dare to accept large orders
If you look carefully, you will find that at the end of the year, the textile market will receive A considerable part of our orders are foreign trade orders, because during our Spring Festival holiday, they are actually in working hours, and they also start the New Year after Christmas. The holidays for foreign customers are over, and it is not surprising that the long-standing backlog of fabric demand has exploded during this period.
However, the dyeing factory will suspend production during the Spring Festival holiday, which will inevitably affect the fabric Delivery time is affected. During actual operation, once the delivery date of a foreign trade customer order cannot be kept up, the company will generally use air transportation instead of shipping to strive to deliver the customer order within the delivery date. But this kind of cost is difficult for any fabric manufacturer to accept.
According to a trader, they were once forced to fly to Southeast Asia because the delivery was late. For ordinary thin chiffon, the air freight cost is close to 2 yuan per meter. This is the cost of transfer. If the direct freight is almost 3 yuan/meter. There is no profit at all under this freight rate, and the cost will be lost a lot.
In order to avoid potential losses, many traders stopped accepting orders before this year. If customers can negotiate for shipment after this year, then they will accept the order first and then do it after this year. Especially for orders with larger quantities, this kind of risk awareness is a must. Although traders dare to accept some orders with smaller quantities, they may not dare to place them in dyeing factories.
Don’t dare to make small orders
First of all, the order quantity does not affect the previous preparations. , steps such as making color samples and sending them to customers for confirmation are all indispensable. The delivery date problem still exists when the dyeing factory is on holiday and is uncertain. Also, as the holidays are approaching, workers are homesick and their attention is diverted, so they are likely to make mistakes during the order processing process. Especially orders with a small quantity are more likely to be taken lightly.
A trader in Wujiang made four cylinders of satin last year, but the cloth surface of the four cylinders of satin produced was all defective. You must know that they have been working in this dyeing factory for a year without any problems. Only the four cylinders broke down a year ago. They had no choice but to redo them after the year.
Uncertain delivery times and unstable quality make many customers afraid to send them to the dyeing factory easily after receiving orders. At this time, the opportunity for color matching of finished products comes on the market. . Conventional polyester taffeta, pongee, chiffon, hemp and other varieties have always been in large stocks and rich in colors in the finished product color matching market. Rather than risking a small order, it is better to go directly to the finished product market, which takes less time and guarantees quality.
The financial pressure is not small
Although the specific time for the holiday and production suspension has not yet been announced in the dyeing factory, notices of the need to bring money to pick up the goods have been posted everywhere. Normally, the dyeing factory can give you a month’s buffer, but now it’s completely “pay one hand and deliver the goods”. However, when it comes to payment for our orders, we cannot “pay the money and deliver the goods” with the customer. It is impossible to make the agreed payment time even one day early.
Especially the payment for the order made before the year will definitely not be returned until after the year. , but gray cloth factories, printing and dyeing factories, finishing factories, as well as workers’ wages, rents, etc. will all reach out to you before the year, and traders invisibly advance more money and take a longer time. To some extent, this is also the reason why many traders are reluctant to accept orders at the end of the year, especially large orders. The financial pressure is too great. Rather than being asked for debts everywhere, it is better to keep the funds and celebrate the New Year in a solid way.
There are indeed a lot of orders at the end of the year due to various reasons, but when the time for the dyeing factory to stop production is ambiguous, not everyone is willing to take them. Behind large orders are not only huge profits, but also high risks. Financial pressure and delivery issues will erupt intensively under the influence of dyeing factories. Although small orders are less risky, they do not receive the attention of dyeing factories, and quality problems occurred frequently a year ago. Dear traders, if possible, try to place orders after the year. </p
