A man wearing yellow vest moves a cart loaded with small boxes inside a big Apple warehouse.

One of the most anticipated product launches of the year, short of a coronavirus vaccine, is now underway. Express delivery giants UPS (NYSE: UPS) and FedEx (NYSE: FDX) are utilizing a host of logistics capabilities to import the Apple iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Air, and then deliver them to retail stores, distribution centers or customers’ homes. 

With customers ordering more online because of challenges associated with being in public during the pandemic, Apple is using its more than...

Apple ship-from-store strategy ends total reliance on centralized distribution

Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) unprecedented move to ship upcoming iPhone 12 orders from its stores may be a one-shot deal prompted by the unusual economic conditions of 2020. Or it may be the start of a sustainable trend for a company whose centralized distribution strategy is as old as Apple itself.

In any case, Apple’s immense influence could compel other businesses that may be on the ship-from-store pool deck to dive in. John Richardson,vice president of supply chain analytics for Transportation...

Peak shipping season for air cargo heats up to full boil

The peak of the peak season is in full swing for international airfreight. For buyers, that means higher costs and delays finding available slots for air and ocean shipments, while transportation and logistics providers reap bigger profits per load.

The Southeast Asia and China export markets are especially hot and could boil into December. Spot rates out of China to North America started climbing again early this month as air capacity tightened and are approaching $6 per kilogram, according to...

Η Saudi Aramco «εκθρονίζει» την Apple

Στην πρώτη θέση ως μεγαλύτερη σε αξία εταιρεία παγκοσμίως βρίσκεται πλέον ο πετρελαϊκός κολοσσός Saudi Aramco. Η Aramco κατάφερε να «εκθρονίσει» την Apple, η οποία βρίσκεται στη δεύτερη θέση σε όρους αξίας παγκοσμίως.

Σύμφωνα με τα όσα αναφέρει το Bloomberg, η Aramco κατέστη πλέον η πρώτη εισηγμένη εταιρεία σε όρους κεφαλαιοποίησης, ξεπερνώντας τον τεχνολογικό γίγαντα Apple, η οποία διατηρούσε την πρώτη θέση παγκοσμίως από τον Ιούλιο του τρέχοντος έτους, όταν οι μετοχές των αμερικανικών...

Virus slows airlines from adding capacity, airfreight volatility increases

Pallets of freight offloaded an Emirates 777 passenger plane onto a hydraulic lift. The use of passenger planes as freighters is dictated by strong market economics.

The outlook for economic recovery and better health for airlines is more pessimistic and that’s bad news for manufacturers and other shippers seeing input costs rise due to higher transport prices in the COVID era.

Passenger airlines are reporting huge second-quarter losses, terminating employees and slowing the reintroduction of flights as the coronavirus flares up. Fewer flights means fewer transport options for shippers already facing a supply shortage, but full-freighter operators – and freig...

Αpple: Ποδαρικό… με το δεξί το 2020

Η τιμή της μετοχής της Apple ξεπέρασε για πρώτη φορά την Πέμπτη 2 Ιανουαρίου τα $300, εν μέσω θετικών εκτιμήσεων για τις πωλήσεις το εορταστικό διάστημα που προηγήθηκε αλλά και για αυξημένη ζήτηση ενόψει για υπηρεσίες όπως το streaming TV.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η τιμή της Apple κατέγραψε ημερήσια αύξηση 2,3% και άγγιξε τα $300,35. Συνεπώς το 2020 μπαίνει με το δεξί για τον τεχνολογικό κολοσσό, κάτι που δεν συνέβη το αντίστοιχο διάστημα πέρυσι, όταν για πρώτη φορά σε δύο δεκαετίες προέβλεψε μειωμένες...
