Update from the President:
In March we experienced significant cost increases in just about everything. Trying not to be political (yes, this is Lisa) the impacts of our world hit us solidly in the head at BioZyme. Tubs, bags, grains, vitamins, sulfates and even water all went up in price. Add logistic fuel surcharges like we have never seen before in our company’s history along with utility increases just as high and we, despite my giving it my all since March 2020, had to increase our prices across the board. I promise to continue to work hard to keep this from continually occurring, but please PRAY for our country.
PRODUCT UPDATES
A new & improved formula to enhance palatability has been created, tested and implemented for DuraFerm® Sheep Concept•Aid® HEAT®
LTL: Capacity continues to be stressed
- COVID-19 Omicron variant is causing elevated absenteeism at carrier terminals; expect delays into April as a result
- Expect persistent delays in LTL carrier networks from the backlogs
- With capacity already constrained, multiple LTL carriers are now implementing freight embargoes at various locations across the country
- Rates are projected to stay 35.8% higher than the 2018 baseline – but remain level with Q4/2021
LTL Calculator
- This tool and its results are for estimation purposes only. There are no guarantees these rates will be accurate when a shipment is rated and booked. If the carrier has Interline on the calculator this could take an additional 6 days or more to receive your order. The Logistics Team usually picks the lowest cost unless it is Interline. If you would like to keep the lowest rate on freight and would like to go interline, please reach out to Ashley Jones at ajones@biozymeinc.com.
- (interline- a shipment that is transferred between two or more carriers for movement to final destination)
