Rise in Freight Charges

Wessex Medical

All our main suppliers have announced a rise in shipping charges. In most cases this has added 10% to our shipping costs, in one case they have added 25%.

The reason for this is blamed on many factors from a shortage of lorry drivers to Brexit to Custom delays and shipping container shortages on the high seas.

We have managed to absorb most of this increase and hopefully we will continue to do so however it is inevitable that costs are on the increase and this is just to give you a heads up and so that you are clear as to what lies behind the rise.
