Peak season stock had to reach a booked delivery slot at the DC, with no room for a customs hold or a missed terminal window.
We held space on the sailing, lodged the import entry three days before arrival and booked our own truck on a terminal slot for the morning of discharge.
The box was released the morning the ship berthed, collected that lunchtime and tipped at Daventry on its booked slot.

Peak used to mean a yard full of boxes waiting for haulage. Now the Norholm truck is there the morning the box is released.
