Confirm bookings at least 2-3 weeks in advance to avoid delays. Account for extended transit times due to potential weather disruptions and visibility issues from coastal fog (May-September). Add buffer days to your delivery commitments, especially during peak retail periods like Black Friday and Christmas (mid-November to early January), to mitigate the impact of congestion and staffing shortages.
