I noticed a lot of Rearz pull on diaper covers are all out of stock lately too. I was hoping to get a few recently.
Yep the round the Cape of Good hope route takes 7 days longer ,Kirisin said:Don't quote me on this. With all the unrest in Russia, Ukraine, Isreal, Palestine, Iran, Yemen and in general the shipping lanes thru the Red Sea and the Suez Canel. Things just are not getting to market. Some shipping vessels are avoiding the Red Sea altogether and. Taking the long route around the southern tip of Africa. It's simply cheaper then paying the insurance to protect the cargo. My diaper is made I'm Germany. I suspect things just aren't getting to market because it's to exspensive. Hopefully this won't last long.

The Suez canal is effectively closed due to the risk so you are right, prices are up and timelines are longer. The Panama canal is also at reduced capacity due to lack of rainfall meaning stuff goes round the tip of South America or waits or gets trucked across the US, all of these incur more time and money. We're heading back towards COVID levels of global logistics chaos and costs unfortunately so we will all feel the impact. Worst of all, the supply of tea to the UK has been affected and there are empty shelves in some supermarkets as a result, this could become a major incident!Kirisin said:Don't quote me on this.

We now seem to be the exclusive UK distributor for BetterDry/Crinklz, I do my best to keep BetterDry in stock, sometimes have to be a bit creative to fit into production schedules and not over/under order various lines for our truckload.NappiedTruckDriver said:I got 2 boxes of Better dry from ABU Uk , even Save express didn’t have the large in stock
Got my last 3 shipments of Better dry fro ABU UK
Can you DM me your order number please, we need to report the damage to DPD and get you any replacements out for damaged thingsben0510 said:I just received some betterdry from abu yesterday, delivered by dpd. (bag was ripped). no body else had any in stock.
Excellent evaluation of the World at this moment!!Roland007 said:Well, there are some people in Yemen shooting at almost every ship that passes by. They all have to take the long way around Africa, which easily adds about 3 weeks to shipping. Since almost all ABDL diapers are made in China, SAP is often produced in Japan or China, they all suffer from delayed shipping. Add to that, the Chinese economy is crashing right now, so the economy and war also have an impact on "sold out"
I am a US driver. Ports are slow on both coasts. Chine having an east and west coast like us can truck it across to there east coast and ship it to our West coast. Which also adds more to headaches to get it from US west coast to US east coast trucking it across. While it may get things to US it will generate higher transportation costs on both ends. Same thing shipping back to China. Same thing with Japan's products. I think with Suez and the Red Sea essentialy closed down it will require more ground shipping. All this sounds great but it still becomes a transportation nightmare getting these vary products to Europe. Not to mention the extra traffic on the roads and not enough drivers to move that kind-of volume.NappiedTruckDriver said:Yep the round the Cape of Good hope route takes 7 days longer ,
Messes my job up as I’m a container truck driver in the UK out of Southampton and if they’re running behind they miss Southampton and go straight to next port on their run
I think healthwick is in Canada and USA only but I could be mistaken. But I was going to say that in Canada there seems to be lots of stock and good variety.Ryanwet said:You should check out healthwick they have some rears ABDL diapers.
