Umkhumbi usuka e-China uya e-Kenya: Umhlahlandlela Ophelele, Ongenayo I-Stress

Okuqukethwe

Isingeniso

Ukungenisa izimpahla zisuka e-China ziye eKenya kungaba yithuba lebhizinisi elithokozisayo - kodwa futhi eligcwele ubunkimbinkimbi, ikakhulukazi uma ungakaze uzulazule ezimpahleni zamazwe ngamazwe, ukukhishwa kwezimpahla ezithengiswayo noma izinto eziwela umngcele. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumnikazi webhizinisi elincane e-Nairobi ehlinzeka ngemikhiqizo evela e-Shenzhen, umthengisi waseMombasa ongenisa impahla eyinqwaba, noma oqalayo ukuthola ukuthunyelwa kwesampula kumkhiqizi waseShayina, ukuqonda ukuthi kuthunyelwa kanjani ngomkhumbi kusuka e-China kuya e-Kenya ngendlela efanele kuyisihluthulelo sokugwema ukubambezeleka okungalindelekile, izindleko noma ubuhlungu bekhanda.

Kulo mhlahlandlela ngizohamba nawe kuyo yonke inqubo isinyathelo ngesinyathelo: kusukela ekukhetheni indlela yokuthutha eyiyo, ukubala izikhathi zokuthutha kanye nezindleko, ukuqonda imibhalo namasiko, amathiphu okupakisha nawokuthumela, kuze kufike ekulethweni nasekuphathweni kwendawo eKenya. Ekugcineni ngizophinde ngigqamise ukuthi umhlinzeki wezokuthutha onguchwepheshe — Topway Shipping - ingakusiza ukuthi wenze lula lolu chungechunge lonke. Inhloso yami ukwenza le nqubo ibe "no-stress" ngangokunokwenzeka.

Ukukhetha Imodi Yokuthumela Elungile

Lapho uthumela izimpahla zisuka eChina ziye eKenya unezinketho ezintathu ezinkulu: umthwalo wezindiza, impahla yasolwandle (kungaba i-full-container-load – FCL, noma ngaphansi kwe-container-load – LCL), kanye nezinsizakalo zokuveza noma zephasela. Ngamunye unobuhle nobubi.

I-Air Freight

Inketho eshesha kakhulu: izikhathi zokuhamba ezijwayelekile ukusuka e-China ukuya eKenya ngendiza cishe yizinsuku ezi-5-8 (ezimpahla zomoya ezijwayelekile) kanye nezinsuku ezi-3-5 zezinsizakalo ezisheshayo. Izindleko eziphakeme nge-kg noma i-cubic mitha ngayinye; okungcono ngenani eliphezulu, izimpahla ezizwela isikhathi (amasampula, izinto zikagesi, imfashini) kunenqwaba enkulu.
Udinga ukucabangela ukuphathwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza, amasiko lapho ufika eKenya, amandla kugcinwa noma ukulethwa kwasendaweni kusuka esikhumulweni sezindiza.
