Hi everyone, a quick update on the shipping industry that may be affecting BE members....

If you're currently getting quotes from International Removal Companies you may be starting to hear that the household goods shipping industry is seeing increased freight rates from shipping lines. These are a result of the global shipping industry challenges that have arisen since the start of the pandemic.
