AIRFREIGHT
Space from India,
Vietnam,
Far East – in particular PVG and HKG - is becoming critical and we are starting
to see delays and rate increases.
Many airlines have even closed bookings for one week
until the cargo they have on hand has been released, consequently we are
booking often more than one week out.
Please encourage your vendors to call prior to
shipment readiness to ensure faster transit time to the U.S.
