I know. There will be so many long term effects. Already, trade is shut off, little or nothing being shipped out of Japan.
yah...it’s my understanding that most everything that was in transit when the quake hit will be arriving at their destinations this week, and what happens after that is anyone’s guess. It’s almost impossible to know who lost what supplier in all of this and I believe it will take months to straighten this all out with spot shortages of different items for a long, long time.
Not true. I'm in the business of importing from Japan. We are having to reroute and delay some shipments, but we are running very close to on schedule performance as normal.
Our key suppliers are making the necessary adjustments to keep things functional in these very trying times. Their hard work and motivation is nothing short of inspirational.
