An interesting month - our International shippers and logistics nerds in the USA have surpassed themselves - They took our multi-pallet delivery on a road trip around the USA, a truckstop tour, I guess! - Some nameless do**us decided Long Beach was a better port for export than our usual through Savannah, down through the Panama. Effective and economic.
Long Beach added three dangerous levies, and we had a mixed DG pallet, which added insane fees. This meant they effectively doubled the freight cost on the rest with surcharges.
We will hold the rates for a while - it's tax time, and combined with fuel costs, it's never-ending.
