The semi-annual package is the subscription modality that Corp-Merch.MX offers to Mexican corporates with recurring merchandise that does not require quarterly frequency but prefers a semi-annual commitment with discount over monthly or quarterly purchase. The semi-annual subscription is signed once and renewed automatically every six months while the client does not request cancellation with at least 60 days notice before cycle close. The invoice is issued at the start of each semester with CFDI 4.0 and the fiscal compliance report is delivered at cycle close with the complete traceability of each delivery.
The semi-annual package discount is 8 to 14 percent over the quarterly list price, significantly higher than the 5-9 percent of quarterly and the 2-4 percent of monthly. The discount originates in the six-month plant capacity reservation, which allows Corp-Merch.MX to negotiate raw material prices with more advance and block logistics spaces with parcel operators.
The client's Purchasing area executes a single tender per year instead of four (quarterly) or twelve (monthly). The fiscal area reconciles two semi-annual CFDIs instead of four or twelve. Human Resources programs two semi-annual deliveries instead of four or twelve, with fewer coordination meetings and fewer budgetary approvals.
With two semi-annual deliveries, the client can coordinate deliveries with lower operational load periods (for example, the July delivery arriving before Hot Sale, the January delivery arriving after fiscal close). Semi-annual planning allows avoiding high-season demand peaks (April-May, October-November) that congest parcel operators.
The semi-annual fiscal compliance report consolidates the two semester deliveries in a single document, facilitating accounting reconciliation and response to SAT requirements. The semi-annual consolidation is particularly useful for corporates filing the DIOT and the Report of Operations with Related Parties.
The semi-annual package is ideal for corporates with non-urgent but recurring merchandise: semi-annual training, merchandise to strategic client of the loyalty program, board of directors kit for the two ordinary meetings of the year, merchandise for the two main calendar events (anniversary + corporate year-end), uniforms for personnel with low rotation. Services and financial sector corporates usually prefer the semi-annual package over quarterly because their merchandise does not require monthly frequency.
For retail sector corporates with high rotation, the semi-annual package is not ideal: monthly personnel rotation requires monthly or quarterly frequency. However, for the merchandise of strategic positions (store managers, assistant managers, trust personnel) the semi-annual package can operate as complement to the quarterly package of operational uniforms.
For IMMEX sector corporates with very high rotation (more than 8 percent monthly), the semi-annual package is not adequate: merchandise predictability is too low to commit six months of capacity. In those cases, the quarterly or monthly package is recommended, depending on monthly onboarding volume. Corp-Merch.MX can advise the client on the optimal cadence during the initial quote.
For public sector corporates with annual public tender, the semi-annual package is usually the most convenient because it allows executing two public tenders per year (one per semester) per the LAASSP. The semi-annual package invoice is integrated into the tender file as a single contractual commitment, facilitating oversight by the internal control body and the ASF.
The standard semi-annual timeline has two delivery milestones per cycle: the first delivery (semester start) happens on day 22 of the first month of the semester; the second delivery (semester middle) happens on day 22 of the fourth month of the semester. Order confirmation for the cycle happens 10 days before semester start to allow plant capacity planning and raw material reservation. The semester invoice is issued on the first business day of the semester with CFDI 4.0.
For corporates preferring a single semi-annual delivery (the full run in a single shipment), Corp-Merch.MX offers that modality with an additional discount of 3 to 5 percent over the two-delivery semester price. The single delivery is scheduled on day 22 of the first month of the semester and requires the client to have its own warehouse to hold the merchandise until internal distribution. This modality is common for corporates delivering year-end merchandise on a single coordinated date.
The timeline can be adjusted when the client requires an urgent delivery outside the scheduled calendar. For those cases, an independent quote is required with a surcharge of 20 to 35 percent over the list price. Urgent delivery is invoiced in a single CFDI independent of the current semester and reported in the semi-annual fiscal compliance report with the corresponding note.
The semi-annual subscription does not include monthly or quarterly delivery. For corporates requiring monthly or quarterly merchandise, the corresponding subscription is recommended. Neither does it include adjusting the run during the current semester: adjustments apply to the following semester with at least 30 days notice before current cycle close.
The semi-annual subscription does not include digital marketing services, advertising agency, or influencer management. Corp-Merch.MX is a physical merchandise supplier with fiscal traceability. Neither does it include POP material printing for point of sale (displays, wobblers, gondola headers), which is a complementary service quoted separately.
The semi-annual subscription does not include client migration to another supplier during the current semester. Early cancellation is allowed with 60 days notice before cycle close, and pieces already manufactured are delivered per the original timeline. Partial payments are not refunded and returns of already delivered pieces are not accepted.
