Massive slowdown at her job—tariffs are hitting way harder than we thought
so my wife works at a 3PL warehouse, like one of those big fulfillment places that handles shipping for a bunch of online stores. she’s been there 5+ years, seen all kinds of chaos—pandemic, supply delays, the usual mess. but she came home last night just pissed and said “this is bad. like actually bad.”
basically, stuff’s not coming in anymore. like shipments just… stopped. they’re getting half the trucks they usually get, sometimes less. containers that were supposed to land weeks ago just disappeared. a bunch of their clients (small ecom brands mostly) are either bailing or cutting orders cause everything’s way too expensive to bring in now.
turns out it’s cause of these new tariffs that kicked in this month—145% on a ton of imports, mostly stuff from china. cheap gadgets, clothes, house crap—gone or double the price. all that “under $800 ships free” rule? dead. so now all that low-cost stuff ppl were buying like crazy isn’t even worth importing anymore.
her managers are freaking out. they’re cutting shifts, cancelling overtime, even talking layoffs. she said one of the leads told someone “honestly, we might not have a job by summer if it stays like this.” wild thing is they don’t even know how to pivot. it’s not like you can just replace a shipping system overnight.
and customers are mad too. like ppl are still ordering online like nothing’s wrong, but now stuff’s going out late, getting subbed with random junk, or just backordered forever. she said returns are piling up too cause half of it isn’t what ppl actually ordered.
this isn’t just her warehouse either. apparently other 3PLs they work with are going through the same thing. one client’s moving ops to europe cause it’s cheaper to serve customers there now.
anyway. if you’ve been noticing weird shipping delays or prices jumping outta nowhere—that’s why. the system’s breaking and no one’s talking about it. everyone just hoping it blows over. but it’s not looking good.
