Shipping costs are absolutely crippling right now – Battle Systems said in a recent video that their quarterly shipping costs had risen from £15000 to something like £80000. I honestly can’t see any end to it either. Not only is there still a backlog, China are still pissing about trying to get to a zero COVID state and so there’s still bottle necks there. And then of course, just as we thought we were getting out of the woods Putin thought, “I know, let’s have a war”. Cheers for that, dick head.

So I think lots of things currently face an uncertain and likely expensive future and certainly the old massive pile of boxes is perhaps not quite as viable any more. Then again, I wonder if that is such a bad thing?
