To tackle conflicts with logistics providers due to increased costs, begin by discussing the root issues openly. Negotiate flexible terms, such as adjusted payments or service levels, to manage immediate expenses. Collaborate on cost-saving measures like route optimization, and diversify your logistics network to lower dependency. Utilize performance data to justify rate adjustments if service has declined, and highlight the value of a sustained partnership, ensuring all agreements are clearly documented to prevent future disputes.

Logistics cost increasing is a normal incident for logistics provider. If its cost increase then definitely it impacts on further FOB costs. So from my point of view if increased cost is temporary in business then logistics provider will bear this for their business strategy purpose otherwise it will impact on business. But if this is ongoing process for business then we should increase logistics cost. But through pure negotiation process. It should be on 50-50 process not full gaining or losing as a sustainable business development.
