The local couriers look for am easier way out from ALL possible air cargo hub.
We trucked 2 lot of 200+ Janeway to a hub located 150 km away from another location hoping they could leave on the next available flight. One shipment did just that, arrived US in 10 days. The 2nd lot waited 4 seeks before they could get on a plane.
Then we did 3 shipments to EU by crossing the HK/China border and went through HK because the China hubs were fully packed will millions of packaging waiting yo leave China. All 3 failed and stuck in HK for 3 additional week before they have a flight coming from Germany. This was around mid Dec.
If we went with the usual route, the local transfer hub, then all shipment are still sitting there. I am talking about 1.5 months just sitting around before getting on a plane.
The slower we move Janeway put, the more financial lose we will encounter. Remember our operation model is to ship as fast and as many as possible?
Shipping is taking money from our profit on a daily basis. Some Janeways already experience lost. The margin can't cover the super expensive Re-ship cost.
BTW, if we never did the above, we will need to start to consider slowing down (no room to put finish product) and if we slow down, bankruptcy is unavoidable.
Shipping is EATING into our product. (land Shipping to another Transfer Hub is not cheap when most route are blocked)
