The Unprecedented New Normal Dynamic Crisis Paradigm of Doom
Recent hot takes on the “new normal” of supply chain have become a subgenre of punditry, and you may be tired of seeing them. Macro trend analysis is all well and good, but the moment we’re in is replete with more pressing practical concerns that need action. Let’s walk through a couple of examples.

Parcel Costs were already rising in 2020. Now what?
At the beginning of 2020, FedEx and UPS raised their rates by an average 4.9% across all service types, which isn’t an unusually large hike across the board. Since the pandemic began disrupting the supply chain however, the carriers have added additional surcharges for shipments originating in China, and suspended their respective service guarantees. While normal rate hikes cause a bit of a stir among the companies that rely on tight margins, the added surcharges mean shippers have to tighten their belts even further.
International drop shipping was already going to get hurt
As the economy reels from COVID-19, international drop shipping is particularly vulnerable to the uncertainty in the supply chain and the disruption of production in China. The truth is, even before the pandemic, it was already primed for a major disruption due to some fairly under-reported news: The likely death of ePacket.
Discount for medical device shippers
The COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful for everyone, but we're trying to channel that anxiety into something useful. That's why we're giving free access to Paccurate to manufacturers and distributors of essential goods, such as medical devices and supplies, through July.
