When should you place a Hicey ice cream order to have stock for summer?

To secure stable inventory for the peak season running from March to October, summer order and peak season planning must begin months in advance. Working backwards from your target shelf date allows you to account for ocean transit, customs clearance, production scheduling, order confirmation, and sampling.

How to calculate your reverse timeline

To determine the correct placement date for a summer order, calculate backwards from your retail shelf target. Ocean freight and customs clearance vary by destination port, followed by approximately 20 working days of production scheduling at the Hicey facility operated by Beijing Youshare Food Co., Ltd. Order confirmation takes about 7 working days, and preliminary sampling requires 3 to 5 working days. Factoring in these milestones ensures timely arrival before demand peaks.

Why the low season is critical for peak season planning

During the March–October peak, reefer container space tightens globally alongside production line slots. Importers who delay purchasing until spring frequently encounter vessel congestion and restricted manufacturing capacity. Buyers who complete supplier vetting and sample evaluations during the November–February low season consistently secure the earliest production slots and reliable shipping schedules.
