Furniture supplier, Porter Designs announces that effective Oct. 12, they have eliminated freight surcharges on all new orders. The company added these charges in 2021 due to the extraordinary spike in freight rates around the world.
“Fortunately, we’re finally getting some breathing space on these crazy freight rates,” says national sales manager Jeff Schwall. “Although furniture costs haven’t seen a significant reduction, we’re happy we are able to mitigate some pricing pressure for our customers.”
Schwall continued, “We have seen a significant and sustained reduction in freight rates lately, so we are passing those savings on to our retail partners.”
Porter Designs creates and acquires home furnishings across the globe. Their production base and supply chain options help to keep costs down for retailers and their customers.
“We have discovered that you can’t have all your eggs in one basket anymore; diversity is the key to bringing real value to the market,” says Schwall.
