Subject: Inability to fully load the containers and request for alternative options
Dear [Customer's Name],
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a concern regarding the loading requirements for your recent order. After consulting with the factory, we have discovered that the cargo volume of your order exceeds the capacity of our available containers. Our 40-foot high cube container can accommodate approximately 65 cubic meters, while your order consists of 68.2 cubic meters. Similarly, the smaller container can only hold up to 26 cubic meters, but your cargo volume is measured at 29.4 cubic meters, making it impossible to fit.
We understand the urgency of your order and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. In light of this situation, we would like to propose two alternative solutions in order to proceed with the shipment:
1. Partial shipment: If acceptable to you, we can proceed with the partial shipment of the available cargo volume. The remaining items could be combined with your upcoming order and shipped together in the future. Please let us know if this would be a suitable option for you.
2. Request for original bill of lading (B/L) or telex release: We kindly request your understanding regarding our company policy on shipping documents. At this stage, we are unable to issue a sea waybill (SWB), as it poses certain risks for both parties. Therefore, we would like to offer you the option of either the original B/L or a telex release for your shipment. These are secure methods of transferring ownership and guaranteeing the release of your cargo upon arrival at the destination port.
Please consider these options and kindly provide us with your preferred choice. We value your business and are committed to finding a suitable resolution to ensure a seamless shipping process.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly. We are dedicated to providing the best customer service possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to your prompt response.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name] [Your Company Name] [Contact Information]
