Important Notice: Potential Supply Chain Disruptions Due to Labor Strikes

Dear Valued MedEquip Depot Customer,

We are reaching out to inform you about a recent development that could impact the timely delivery of your medical supplies. A labor strike, initiated by the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), has disrupted operations at several key East Coast ports, which handle a significant portion of containerized goods in and out of the United States. Potential Supply Chain Impacts:

Shipping Delays: Disruptions at major ports are likely to slow down container processing, resulting in delayed shipments.
Port Congestion: As vessels may reroute or experience extended waiting times, this could create congestion at unaffected ports.
Reallocation to Other Ports: Some shipments may be redirected to West Coast ports, potentially causing further delays in transit times.
Product Availability: Depending on the length of the strike, certain medical products may face temporary shortages or delays.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging time. Rest assured, our team is fully committed to supporting your business by doing everything possible to mitigate the strike's impact on your deliveries.

We are here to support you.

Thank you,
