Faced with carrier disputes and a shaky shipping schedule? Share your strategies for steering through these logistical waters.
-
One thing I've found helpful in navigating logistical challenges like carrier disputes is diversifying shipping options. By having multiple carriers available, you can quickly pivot if one is facing issues. Actually, I disagree with relying on a single carrier for cost savings, as it can lead to bigger risks during disputes or delays. An example I've seen is in the retail sector, where companies maintain relationships with several carriers to ensure flexibility and minimize disruption when challenges arise, keeping schedules on track.
