As many of you have seen, by consulting the diaper-minister website, we have been the victim of stock shortages on several products for a few months now.
The causes are multiple. These include the increase in raw materials for the manufacture of layers, the complexity of the production, and especially the logistics of delivery from Asia, which complicate our business as rarely before.
Some of our orders (we are talking about whole containers here) dating from March-April are still in progress. Another container is still blocked in China, as delivery logistics have been completely disrupted since the Covid crisis. In the face of these delays, beyond our control, we ask you to believe that we are doing EVERYTHING possible to reduce delays and solve problems that arise. We seek to have the maximum number of products in stock, and organize our logistics accordingly.
The current situation, which affects many sectors, is primarily related to an unprecedented transport crisis. Just so you know, the tariffs for shipping a container from Asia have increased fivefold in just 18 months.
In order to avoid being dependent on this situation, we are currently looking for new factories and suppliers in Europe, failing which we are closer to Europe.
The main objective is to make us more reactive and no longer subject to this situation in the long term.
The entire Diaper-Minister team thanks customers for their loyalty. We are doing our utmost to limit the impact of this crisis, at a time when the supply of products is more numerous and many wish to test different products.
