Where I work relies on a shipping container of product to be delivered every few weeks. These deliveries are typically “just in time” restocking because we don’t have the warehouse space to keep months and months of inventory. Yesterday at work, I learned from my boss that we can’t schedule a container for delivery in the month of may at all.

We have one container that just got in the country, that would usually be delivered 1-2 weeks after it clears customs. And 2 more waiting for pickup in china to be put on a boat. We can’t get anyone to schedule delivery in may at all. We can’t get anyone to schedule a pick up of the other two containers.

And they won’t even talk about June.

It’s as if the shipping companies are shutting down may first, and won’t schedule after it. And they won’t tell us why.
