Dear Valued Customer,
A reliable healthcare supply chain is critical to deliver quality patient care. Our business is built upon this philosophy and serving your organization is our highest priority.
The objective of this letter is to inform you of potential impacts to your orders due to both the East and Gulf Coast port strike and the effects of Hurricane Helene. The PartsSource team is closely collaborating with our suppliers to create mitigation plans and reduce any disruptions to your shipments.
Below are the challenges we anticipate and are working to mitigate:
-
Shipment Delays: Expected delays for cargo moving through East and Coast ports will likely extend delivery times for both imports and exports.
-
Congestion at Other Ports: As shipments are rerouted, other ports— such as those on the Gulf or West Coast—could face congestion, causing additional delays.
-
Inventory Shortages: Disruptions could lead to inventory and raw material shortages, especially for products reliant on international suppliers.
-
Supply Chain Bottlenecks: Delays at the ports can impact on the entire supply chain, affecting manufacturing timelines and stock availability.
Please inform us if your organization is open to alternative condition codes for orders, as we may have options available that can help us fulfill your needs more quickly. Please email CustomerCare@PartsSource.com to let us know.
We are committed to proactively mitigating potential risks to business continuity and will keep you informed as new information becomes available. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
PartsSource
