Who are you referring to exactly being swede?

I can confirm that this is almost bringing the company i work for to its knees. We bring in an average of 120 containers a week from the far east and those prices are what we are being quoted too. Along with demand being overly high due to covid, the containers are all stuck in useless places (Felixstowe for example has 50% of its container space dedicated to holding empties) and Chinese new year coming up prices wont start going down now till mid march, so May/June time before stock starts landing in the UK at reasonable prices
