December 20, 2023- Shipping’s peak season, with its increased volume of shipments and unpredictable weather, can mean shipping delays, longer lead times and higher shipment costs. The season can be especially costly in healthcare, where shipment delays of medications and medical products have the potential to disrupt patient care.
