The logistics landscape has been tumultuous. This episode cuts through the noise, offering e-commerce operators a clear view of global shipping, warehousing, and fulfillment post-pandemic. Learn what to expect with international shipping, freight carriers, and warehouse availability, helping you strategize for resilient order fulfillment.
Key takeaways
Moving goods internationally requires understanding evolving regulations and carrier performance; leverage 3PLs with global networks to navigate these complexities efficiently.
Post-COVID, assess current freight carrier reliability and transit times, as historic performance may no longer be accurate. Diversify carriers where possible.
Warehouse space availability across the U.S. remains dynamic; consider distributed inventory strategies to optimize shipping costs and speed, especially for reaching customers faster outside of Amazon's network.
While same-day shipping is challenging for most non-Amazon businesses, focus on clear communication of delivery timelines and consistent, reliable fulfillment to meet evolving customer expectations.
Proactively build resilience into your supply chain by understanding potential disruptions and having contingency plans, particularly for international movements and inventory placement.
