I would like to say thank you Al for the wonderful information!!!!
WHY ARE PRICES GOING UP!!!😡
Here are three prominent reasons why shipping costs have skyrocketed, contributing to the shortages and higher prices in car audio and other goods.

The first reason is a question of time. The delays at the port require that a container stay at sea longer. So it makes fewer trips per year. As a result, shipping companies are charging more for each of those longer trips. As Epsilon’s Ronnie Brashear explained, “Where a ship was making 15 trips a year, now it can only make 7 because it has to sit at the port. It has to have triple the food on board, it has to pay the workers for sitting on the ship longer. In Long Beach you sit in the water for two weeks before you are even allowed to come in. So you are paying for lost time.” The pre-pandemic wait time at port was only three days.

Once again, container prices are now approaching $25K, up from $20K a month ago and up from $3-$5K before the pandemic.

The second reason for shipping delays and higher shipping costs, according to blue salve partners, is there has been a consolidation among shipping companies over the past 15 years so what remains is essentially a 5 company cartel. “There was consolidation and they are being investigated for price fixing,” said blue salve co-partner Robert Heiblim.

In other words, shipping companies may be charging top dollar because they know they can.

A third reason for the higher container costs, according to blue salve, is the pandemic itself. Protective gear is being shipped all over the world, say to Africa, where a container may sit for many months waiting for a return load. Chinese manufacturers are now making new containers but the price of steel is up 40 or 50 percent, noted Heiblim.

While these are key reasons for higher shipping costs, there are others including hoarding containers on the part of some larger companies eg. Amazon, Walmart, Target just to name a few.
