The shipping industry is currently experiencing it\u2019s most volatile period in over 50 years, due to significant market forces and global supply chain disruption. Unfortunately, the short term outlook predicts even more volatility with even higher \u2018rates per container\u2019 \u2013 with no clear end in sight.<\/p>\n

To offer some perspective, 12 months ago a 40 ft High Cube container (most commonly used) would cost around $1800 from Asia to the UK. Today, we are having to pay around $18,500 with figures projected to exceed $20,000 in the coming weeks\/months. With such drastic changes, we must ensure our business remains commercially viable. It\u2019s for this reason, that all quotations will be priced based on the current shipping rates, but may be subject to a small shipping surcharge if the cost of shipping increases beyond a $1000 dollars from point of order.<\/p>\n

We remain committed to supplying the very best products, carefully sourced across 11 countries including the UK \u2013 at great prices. We are closely monitoring shipping news and working with our shipping agents in order to remain informed and pro-active.<\/p>\n

Below, is an article published in Lloyds Loading List \u2013 which is the most comprehensive overview of the current global shipping crisis.<\/p>\n
