For direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands and e-commerce businesses, the Christmas season is crucial because it presents a chance to boost sales and position themselves as top picks for holiday shoppers. But the rush of orders that come with the holiday shopping can put pressure on courier partners.
The challenges are much more severe for micro, small, and medium-sized firms (MSMEs) involved in international imports. These difficulties include arranging direct flights, setting up strategically placed warehouses at major international shipping hubs, and completing customs clearance quickly.
