Most "non-essential" products on Amazon that are now delayed, can still be bought by simply Googling the brand and finding their product available directly on their Shopify-hosted web store. It's magical. Give it a try 😉

I regularly get leads that are looking to find a 3PL "within a week". This is a key reason why "everyone hates their 3PL". Many treat finding a 3PL like finding a hotel for your weekend getaway. It's not. It's more akin to finding your spouse.

Greatly concerned for Ecomm delivery in Q4. UPS announced avg daily volume increased 23% ➡️ 21 MM. Q4 '19 UPS avg daily volume of 23MM (+8% yoy). So take 23MM, add +8% (seasonal), and another 23% ➡️ 28MM. Conservative! UPS can't possibly handle. Bottleneck will be drivers.

So if my package is lost, stolen, or damaged, and I opt out of the default insurance, I take full responsibility. Inflation and cost containment is real, but this feels absurd! Pretty bad CX. What do you think @harleyf ? I heard you talk about @Feastables on a recent podcast.

UPS confirmed this morning via Q3 earnings that FedEx's problems are its own! $UPS is humming. Domestic volumes down 1.5% YOY, while revenue was up 8.2% --> +1% margin. FDX had + 6.3% revenue but -0.2% margins. Seems apparent that UPS is taking market share from $FDX.

While everyone is focused on getting today's orders out today (and picked up by carriers!) the past 24 hours has brought headlines of 3 massive "holy s*it" fundraising announcements in the logistics space: Shipmonk = $290 MM Flock Freight = $113.5 MM Flexe = $70 MM 🤯 📦 📈

16 minutes and free from @nashvillesymph to Five Points via B-Cycle is much better than 30 minutes and $20 via Uber.

International 3PLs isn’t my wheelhouse so turning to Twitter: Looking for a 3PL in the UK and/or EU for a small but growing DTC brand, who can handle Kickstarter campaigns + Shopify + Amazon. Need to be knowledgeable in VAT and customs.
