In online retail, it’s common knowledge that high eCommerce shipping costs or long delivery times cause most online shoppers to abandon their digital shopping carts and seek better deals elsewhere. Most online buyers expect delivery within two days, and they expect that service to be free.

Sea freight is becoming increasingly unreliable. Container shortages, port bottle necks and increasing demand on high-traffic lanes has caused late deliveries to sky rocket. Currently there are delays of up to 30 days on some of the busiest China to EU routes, and nearly 22 days on the worst-hit China to U.S. The impact of these delays on your supply can be massive and can result in dissatisfied customers.

eCommerce sales grew by an astounding 44% in 2020 and have remained strong throughout 2021. This sustained volume surge has challenged nearly every part of the supply chain to keep up with the demand. This includes parcel shipping companies.
