D&S Marketing Group – Shipping Crisis

Pittsburgh, PA. – August 23rd, 2021 – The shipping crisis is getting worse. Here is what that means for holiday shopping.

The vast network of ports, container vessels and trucking companies that moves goods around the world is badly tangled, and the cost of shipping is skyrocketing. That’s troubling news for retailers and holiday shoppers.

The partial closure of the world’s third busiest container port is disrupting other ports in China, stretching supply chains that were already suffering from recent problems at Yantian port, ongoing container shortages, coronavirus-related factory shutdowns in Vietnam and the lingering effects of the Suez Canal blockage in March.

That spells trouble for retailers and consumer goods companies trying to restock inventories heading into the crucial year-end holiday shopping season.

“Name almost anything and it seems like there’s a shortage of it somewhere,” Biesterfeld added. “Retailers are struggling to replenish inventory as fast as they’re selling, let alone prepare for holiday demand.”

As we’ve been forecasting for months, shoppers are going to see some bare shelves at the holidays

D&S Marketing Group – Michel Design Works

Dear Valued Retail Partner,


It has certainly been a very long and challenging year for both retailers and manufacturers alike.

All of us have had to reevaluate, adjust, and in some cases, completely overhaul our operations in an attempt to weather the storm. We at Michel Design Works continue to be so very impressed by the fortitude, inventiveness, and creativity shown by our retail partners during this unprecedented time.

Truly a herculean effort!

The ripple effect of this pandemic has had far reaching global consequences that no one could have predicted and that continue to impact the supply chain costs. This includes but is not limited to dramatic increases in the costs of raw materials, manufacturing of goods, and shipment of goods. Although to date we have absorbed all of these increases, they continue to climb to the point where we have no choice other than to adjust our prices. We have carefully reviewed each and every product in our catalog and have increased prices only where absolutely necessary.

Our new price list will be effective June 1, 2021. Any orders received on or before May 31, 2021 with a requested ship date of no later than May 31, 2021, will not be affected by the price increase.

On behalf of everyone at Michel Design Works, we thank you for your inspiring partnership.

We are confident that there is a light at the end of this tunnel and hope to see you all back at the trade shows this summer.

Best regards,

Bob Harris
VP Sales & Creative
