PricePoint Post - Jan 2023

Hello all,

First off, a very Happy New Year to our dear friends and moving partners!! I hope each of you had a joyous and relaxing holiday season.

Looking back on 2022, we can all agree it was a challenging year in many ways, but one thing in my world that has remained steady and strong is the bond we share as industry colleagues and friends. It just makes everything seem better when you know there are people surrounding you that you can count on unequivocally and that having them in your life sincerely makes you a better person. Being in the Global Mobility industry means that we get to forge and nurture these types of relationships with people all over the globe, which is one of the key reasons I have remained in this crazy industry for almost 30 years.

So, as it seems our world isn’t getting any simpler, I’ll take joy in the constant, familiar and dependable things as much as I can. In keeping with that spirit, this edition of the PricePoint Post is all about giving our moving partners and customers some easy-to-digest information and insights, from product updates to Moving 101 materials, to help make your jobs just a wee bit easier - because I truly believe that if we can keep being there for one another for all the small stuff, the curveballs won’t seem as big!

So to 2023 I say, together we got this!

Your friend,
Mindy

International Freight Retrospective

Movers know … freight rates have been all over the map in recent years (pardon the pun). Ocean and air freight rates didn't just go up, they went up and down and sideways, and the patterns of change were completely different depending on region and timing. When contracted rates are way out of line with the market, how can move purchasers be confident they’re paying a fair price?

To give movers and their customers some perspective on what’s really been happening with global freight pricing, PricePoint tapped into freight data collected from thousands of actual shipments worldwide in our latest white paper, International Freight Rates Retrospective.
