☆ Freight Operators’ Peak Shipping Season Is Crumbling
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Paul Berger | Paul Page | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +7 min
The peak shipping season is fizzling as overstocked retailers cancel overseas orders and freight companies scale back expectations for heavy freight volumes heading into the holidays. Many retailers pulled peak season orders in early this year to avoid a repeat of 2021 when supply-chain congestion caused delays and product shortages during the holidays. Container shipping rates that hit record highs last year have also pulled back sharply, although they still remain above 2019 levels. The peak shipping season cascades down into package transport, as United Parcel Service Inc., FedEx Corp. and others typically handle growing volumes as the calendar counts down to Christmas. Citi analysts say they expect a “weaker peak season and a large amount of uncertainty in terms of the magnitude of demand.”—Esther Fung and Liz Young contributed to this article.
☆ Small Businesses Getting Squeezed Out in Push for Warehouse Space
  + stars: | 2022-10-05 | by ( Liz Young | Paul Berger | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +4 min
A warehouse crush across the U.S. is squeezing out smaller companies as big retailers fill industrial storage sites with their growing stockpiles of inventory. Karen Galena, president of First Logistics, which has four warehouses in the Chicago area that provide space for retailers and manufacturers, said bigger customers are willing to pay higher prices for increasingly scarce storage space. “It’s tough for the small guy,” Ms. Galena said, noting labor and other costs are rising for warehouse operators. The challenges small businesses face finding warehouse space mirrors difficulties many had securing room on container ships earlier in the Covid-19 pandemic, when ocean carriers drove up rates and bumped smaller shippers to make way for larger clients. He said some companies are even generating revenue from unconventional storage space.

☆ Retailers Face Pressure to Offer Discounts While Battling Inflation
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Kristin Broughton | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +7 min
Retailers and their finance chiefs are facing a challenge balancing consumer expectations for discounts and the need to keep raising prices to offset high inflation. With more discounts available and additional inventory being sold through off-price retailers, consumers are expecting to find good deals when they go shopping, executives said. Last month, the average discount at such retailers was 16%, up from 15% a year earlier, UBS said. That is prompting competitors—including those that don’t have too much inventory—to fine-tune their pricing strategies, offering discounts to stay competitive even as they grapple with higher costs. The company’s operating margin fell to 15% from 18.1% a year earlier, according to FactSet, a data provider.

☆ Port Labor Talks Stall as Worker Disruptions Grow
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Paul Berger | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
West Coast port labor talks are stalled as dockworker disputes hit the region’s big trade gateways, according to shipping industry officials who fear the negotiations could take months to resolve. “What you are starting to hear is people are losing faith,” said one shipping industry official. In August 40,000 containers were diverted from the Port of Los Angeles to the neighboring Port of Long Beach because of one labor dispute. The concerns over the progress of the talks comes as labor disputes around the U.S. are growing. Shipping industry officials say they also want the government to get more involved in the port labor talks.
☆ Rail Shippers Applaud Labor Deal, Seek Rapid Ratification

Groups representing big rail shippers said Thursday’s tentative railroad-labor contract avoids potential turmoil in their supply chains and they are hoping for rapid ratification by union members to fully ease the labor tensions. “We are relieved and cautiously optimistic that this devastating nationwide rail strike has been averted,” said National Retail Federation President and Chief Executive Matthew Shay. The tentative deal must now be ratified by members of the various unions covered by the contracts. The deal, which is retroactive to 2019, includes a 14.1% wage increase upon ratification. Still, the agreement may help improve rail service in operations that have been hit by capacity and staffing shortages, he wrote.
