UPS, USPS & SOS: A Week of Supply Chain Plot Twists
From UPS tightening its belt for the holidays to your morning coffee getting caught in a price war, this week's logistics headlines take you on a trip through the modern supply chain's pressure points. We start with UPS's tempered peak season outlook setting the tone. Meanwhile, dock workers and maritime leaders are heading back to the negotiating table, and the Postal Service is cooking up changes that might make rural Americans wish they lived closer to the city. Speaking of disruptions, Russian intelligence is playing puppet master in the Red Sea, and Amazon has decided to pump the brakes on its store-to-door delivery experiment. All while Starbucks and Keurig watch their customers duke it out for cheaper coffee. Top it off with air cargo's split personality — booming in Asia-Europe but tangled in red tape across the Pacific — and you've got a week that proves Murphy's Law is alive and well in global logistics. Let's dig in.
