First, lock the product standard in Phase 1 so there is no debate about what \u201ccorrect\u201d looks like. Next, in Phase 2, the seller must ship export-ready goods with clean packing and documents, and deliver them on board on time. Then, in Phase 3, the buyer must manage freight, insurance, customs, and inland delivery with tight planning to avoid surprise fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One last reality check:<\/strong> most FOB problems are not caused by the ocean. They come from unclear specs, weak packaging rules, late trucking, or missing paperwork. So if you want fewer disputes and smoother deliveries, write everything clearly, confirm responsibilities in the PO and contract, and track the handoff point like it\u2019s the finish line.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ftoc-contact-information\" class=\"ftwp-heading ftwp-heading-target\" data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"839\"><strong data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"839\">Our Contact Information \u2013 MEKONG GARMENT FACTORY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"879\"><strong data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"861\">Vietnam Phone:<\/strong>\u00a0+84 947 729 829<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"911\"><strong data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"893\">WeChat:<\/strong>\u00a0+84 947 729 829<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"945\"><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"927\">WhatsApp:<\/strong>\u00a0+84 947 729 829<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"976\"><strong data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"958\">Email:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"976\"><a class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"974\">hanh@kimmy.vn<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2634 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Visit-our-Factory-banner.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1154px) 100vw, 1154px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Visit-our-Factory-banner.webp 1154w, https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Visit-our-Factory-banner-430x458.webp 430w, https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Visit-our-Factory-banner-150x160.webp 150w, https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Visit-our-Factory-banner-700x745.webp 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1154\" height=\"1228\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OEM\/FOB workflow blends product development (OEM) with\u00a0Free On Board\u00a0(FOB) logistics, moving from design specs to ship loading: Seller (OEM)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,94],"tags":[83,82,84,115,73,85,114,86],"class_list":["post-8023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fabrics-directory","category-manufacturing-sourcing","tag-cm","tag-cmpt","tag-cmt","tag-fob","tag-garment-factory","tag-garment-manufacturing","tag-oem","tag-production-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mekonggarment.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
