📢 2025 Sea Freight Rates Prediction – Brace for Another Rocky Year! Hey Shippers!  🌊 Wondering what’s next for sea freight in 2025?  Spoiler alert:  It’s going to be a bumpy ride! Here’s what to expect and how you can navigate these rough seas. 🔹 Capacity vs. Demand –  While new vessels are coming online, don’t expect rates to drop. Shifting carrier alliances are keeping costs high, adding pressure on shippers worldwide.  🔹 Geopolitical Risks –  High tensions in key areas like the Red Sea and Persian Gulf are delaying the reopening of routes like the Suez Canal. This means carriers are forced to take pricier routes around the Cape of Good Hope, increasing both transit times and rates. 🔹 Labor Disruptions –  In the US, recent strikes have everyone on edge, with the potential for more disruptions as January approaches. These could impact East Coast lanes and drive up spot rates across multiple trade routes. 🔹 US-China Trade Tensions –  With potential new tariffs on Chinese imports, we may see trans-Pacific rates spike. Demand for China-Mexico routes as alternatives is also rising, heating up these lanes even more. 🔹 Carrier Alliance Shifts –  New groupings in early 2025 might impact service reliability and schedule integrity, especially on Asia routes. Expect more unpredictability as carriers reconfigure. 💡 So, what’s your strategy for 2025?  Many shippers are locking in long-term rate agreements to escape the volatility of spot rates, gaining stability and protection against sudden price spikes. ⛴️ Want help navigating the 2025 sea freight landscape?  Click the link below or book a call with us for your FREE bespoke logistics audit and plan, we’d be happy to help you streamline your logistics for efficiencies and improved costs: https://lnkd.in/gp4YRcbK Book a call: https://lnkd.in/dqZahy43 🌍 If you already have a strategy for 2025, drop your strategy in the comments, helping each other is the key to smooth sailing in 2025! #SeaFreight #Logistics #ShippingIndustry #SupplyChain #2025Prediction

The Challenges of Dimensional Changes in Freight - For e-commerce sellers, managing dimensional discrepancies in freight can be a major challenge—especially in consolidated or LCL shipments. At Proboxx, we understand how frustrating it can be when shipping costs unexpectedly rise due to small changes in carton dimensions. One of our clients recently shared this with us:   _"Our master cartons expand when packed, increasing final dimensions. This adjustment leads to higher shipping costs, even though they take up less space in the container. It complicates record-keeping and causes frustration." This issue is common, particularly in shipments from China. Here’s how we tackle it: 1️. Vendor Audits: We conduct routine audits to catch dimensional discrepancies early.   2. Transparency: Any dimensional changes? You’ll know about it. We provide photos, videos, and detailed packing lists to keep you informed.   3️. Cost Sharing: We absorb part of any extra costs and negotiate with vendors to share the burden.   4️. Vendor Negotiations: We work directly with vendors to reduce cost increases wherever possible. Need help optimizing your freight for better cost savings?   Book a call with us today on the link below: https://lnkd.in/dqZahy43  Or grab your FREE logistics audit by clicking the link below! https://lnkd.in/d_7T9Bm8 Let us help you save money and improve your shipping accuracy. #logisticsmanagement #amazonfba

Here are some of the new fees sellers are facing in 2024: 1️. Increased Inventory & Fulfillment Fees: The cost of using Amazon’s FBA has gone up across the board.    2️. Storage Fees: Monthly and long-term storage fees have risen, with additional peak season surcharges.   3️. Aged Inventory Surcharges: If your products sit too long, you’re now getting hit with extra charges.   4️. Return & Disposal Fees: Customer returns are also getting more expensive to process.   Phew! That’s a lot… These increases are cutting into margins, but it’s not all doom and gloom.  Optimizing your logistics can help offset these added costs. Here are our top 5 tips to stay competitive and profitable: 1️. Inventory Forecasting: Accurately forecast demand to avoid overstocking (which leads to higher storage fees) or understocking (which results in missed sales).   2️. Consolidated Shipments: Combining shipments can reduce costs, especially for overseas imports.   3️. Optimize Storage Locations: Use 3PL services like Proboxx and switch to FBM, to reduce shipping times and delivery costs.   4️.

🚨 Crucial Update for Amazon Sellers Importing to Canada 🚨 If you're selling on Amazon Canada, listen up!  Recent changes in regulations from our last post means you must now apply for a Canadian Business Number (BN) through the CRA. Here's what you need to know: - The process can take up to 3 weeks, so allow extra time. - You’ll also need to register for GST and CARM, even if your business makes under $30K annually.  - Amazon can’t act as your consignee for importing goods. 💡 Pro Tip: If you have a trusted contact in Canada, they can act as your Importer on Record, potentially speeding up the process. Understanding and preparing for these regulations will make sure you enter the market smoothly and avoid any costly delays. 📞 Need help navigating this process?  Drop a comment below, or message us today on: info@proboxx.io  and let Proboxx assist you with all your logistics needs. #amazonsellers #supplychain #ecommerce #canadaimporting #logisticssolutions #amazoncanada
