It’s time to break out the cozy sweaters and grandma’s recipe book: the holiday season is here. As we enter this festive time, it’s crucial to understand the current state of the shipping industry to ensure timely deliveries and a smooth ordering experience. 

From backlogs of shipping containers to labor shortages and capacity limitations, the pandemic caused a great deal of challenges within the supply chain last year. While some of the challenges have finally subsided, we are still witnessing lingering impacts. From a shipping perspective, carriers are in a much stronger position to handle this year’s peak holiday shipping season.
