Being the bellweather for trucking, how is the situation in the UK?
Yay…
Back to cheap imported Chinese tat.
Like fuel prices, I’m willing to bet that prices don’t come down despite costs being lower.

Which costs are lower?

Shipping costs…
Into the USA have declined by 84%.
Obviously we’ll reap that reward too here in Blighty.

I clicked the link and was met with a barrage of cookie consent, sign up here, subscribe to our newsletter and adverts. I didn’t read squat.
What’s your point lol?
Container prices from China to Europe (that`s where we still are)
All of 2019 about 1,100 points.
Rose up to max of 5,600 Jan 2022.
Sept about 4,000 points.
Certainly no “84% drop” in sight anywhere.
Shipping costs into the US don`t seem that relevant.
If US costs dropped by 84%…from when to when?

Oh…
Ok.
According to the OPs link, costs declined by 84% into the US. I rather hopefully assumed we’d also see that benefit.

Sept 21 yes $20k and it has dropped from there. But Sept 20 it was under 5k. What it was pre covid it says here about 1,000 [marketplacepulse.com/articl ... iner-rates](https://www.marketplacepulse.com/articles/nine-months-of-10000-container-rates) The original link simply picking two points isnt clear to me.
Clearly Chinese export production, transportation etc has been volatile.
