Description
With the fourth quarter beginning this week, retailers are bracing for a flood of e-commerce orders — many of which will end up in the networks of UPS and FedEx on their way to holiday shoppers later this year. Express providers are also getting an early start, with peak surcharges, typically reserved for the holidays, in place throughout the pandemic and rising further for the traditional peak. In this On Logistics episode of “On Air with Air Cargo World,” Cathy Morrow Roberson speaks with Nate Skiver, founder of LPF Spend Management. LPF Spend Management works with e-commerce and parcel shippers to locate shippers and services aligning with their shipping strategy and negotiate more favorable contracts. The discussion covers peak season surcharges, transportation capacity for parcels, and options for retailers struggling to secure capacity with big express carriers.
