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

2026-11-10

To have Hicey stock ready for the summer peak season, you should work backwards from your target shelf date, factoring in ocean transit, customs clearance, and our standard production schedule. Our peak export season runs from March to October, during which reefer container space and line slots tighten significantly. Therefore, international buyers typically vet suppliers and place orders during the November–February low season to secure the earliest production slots.

Key planning facts and timeline

• Sampling: Allow 3–5 working days for sample preparation and dispatch before final confirmation.
• Order confirmation: Budget about 7 working days to finalize specifications, packaging details, and contract terms.
• Production scheduling: Production takes approximately 20 working days from order confirmation.
• Ocean transit and clearance: Add international ocean shipping and destination port customs clearance time according to your local port schedule.
• Low season advantage: The November–February period is ideal for supplier verification, sample testing, and locking in production schedules ahead of the March–October peak demand.

Why planning ahead matters for reefer transport

During peak months, reefer container availability and production line capacity experience high utilization. Securing your manufacturing and shipping window early prevents port delays and ensures continuous cold chain integrity from our facility to your distribution center.
