Shipping Issues Cause Department Store to Charter Ships
Joining the list of other large retail names like Walmart and Ikea, well known UK department store John Lewis has now announced efforts to charter its own ships in an attempt to prepare for the coming holiday season due to the ongoing current global shipping and container delays.
Without any further details, John Lewis’ chairman advised they already have ships on standby.
“We are going very hard and really fast to make sure Christmas gets saved for our customers,” said Sharon White, chairman of John Lewis Partnership.
