The twin events in Ukraine and Shanghai have shattered the core assumptions underlying global supply chains. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall more than three decades ago, multinational corporations had often been able to separate business and geopolitics, assuming that world leaders generally make rational decisions regardless of their ideology. However, with Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Shanghai's severe, month-long lockdown, it's clear that such assumptions were wildly over-optimistic.

The supply chain for many small parcel shipping companies is typically long. Products are often made in distant lands, travel on oceans and waterways, arrive at ports, are then transported to warehouses, from where a third-party logistics provider delivers the product to its intended destination. In a stable world, shippers and customers alike can expect a product to be delivered within the promised time window. However, in a world facing high levels of uncertainty caused by war, pandemic, political instability, raw material shortages, freak accidents (recall the regional and national impact of the bridge collapse in the Port of Baltimore caused by a container ship), and weather, the shipper must work overtime to ensure customer expectations are met at no additional cost, despite these uncertainties.
