How the rise of Temu and Shein created a logistical nightmare for the air freight industry

As cash-strapped, trend-conscious young consumers propelled ultra fast fashion brands Temu and Shein to the top of the list of e-commerce retailers, they also created chaos and a logistical quagmire for the air cargo industry.

Anne Gaviola has more on why their model, which relies on goods and clothing being made cheaply and quickly in China, then shipped to North America, is poised to expand even as some analysts warn that it isn’t sustainable.

It’s not like the airlines are doing it for charity 😅

Have you ever heard McDonald complain that there are too many customers?

[Phlegethon]

Your problem is they’re giving you too much money?

[sacphilip]

I love the fact that the truly rich hate fast fashion. Quite insightful!

Next tax for the people pollution tax.

Well done to them. They have exposed how retailers are ripping the consumer off. 😅

It is only a problem because logistics companies refuse to hire more people and expand their locations to accomodate the increase in business.

I wonder how much influence the slow fashion movement has, vs the volumes(!!!) shipped by Temu + SheIn daily. Any statistics available?

[haidomo]

I'd like to hear more about convenient buying both pros and cons.

Your complaint is you have a job? I don’t get what the fuss is about?

China has been using Singapore 🇸🇬 *as a cover* for its operations in other countries.
TikTok and Shein are examples. Circumventing US AI chip restriction is another example.

Hey Justin!
Most Canadians can't afford an EV. How about giving them a reprieve on their carbon taxes and a "FREE" Tesla?

Fair is fair.

[cying]

Air cargo is free for the shipping of Temu and Shein?

[chrthewrestler]

i don't see ANY PROBLEMS with him. i am satisfied with them actually.

whenever the company is from china, we just talk bad about them....

our news are very biased and brain washing.

99% of the products from amazon are made in china anyways, but because the company is from usa so we don't talk bad about them?

our country needs help... omg.

These sites are botk sketchy and Temu is a legit scam.

[bellaorakci]

And? They are not the only ones..what about other major companies?.SMH

[canadaclub]

proves we dont take climate crisis seriously.

[matthewporter]

Is china paying a carbon tax on these goods?

[mr.c.]

They also fill up unfilled cargo planes. Not sure the angle here lol

[thisiscanada]

Market is everything, what about shoptify?
