Here's a Massive Opportunity for Design Entrepreneurs
Good thing we make so many of the tools people need to build things right here at home. Oh wait.
I'm a designer from China. Expensive container costs lead to a backlog of factory inventory. This also slows down the pace of our development of new products.
Our container costs have only tripled if that, so has port time and raw material prices. Some of MGA's numbers don't add up, my ships come thru the same port and max wait time has been 4 weeks. Anyways the biggest costs increases continue to be the tariffs enacted from Trumps days. Those duties dwarf all the other charges on my freight forwarding bill.
