The Brexit Thread

[NarrowBandFtw]

The issue is that nobody actually does it and now there's less than a month remaining to do everything.

and yet the powers-that-be, with the help of their friends the MSM, blame brexit itself for such failures, not the pathetic circus act tasked with making brexit happen

 

[Dave]

if not EU, then China, guaranteed that there's a shipping company out there, with enough of "the right type of" pallets

So, to meet the demand those pallets will likely need to be manufactured and then treated to EU specs, how long will that take?

Once they are ready to go, they need to be shipped to the UK.

Central China – Shanghai/Ningbo – 28-30 days on the water. Allow a total of 7 weeks from door to door.

How long till the 29th of March?

Oh so this has NOTHING to do with brexit actually happening, but merely the people who are scrambling to try make a clusterfsck not into such a large clusterfsck.... gotcha.

Because more third party EU compliant pallets have obviously been delivered by the Holy Spirit and EU shipping companies have millions of unused ones in stock?

Now you're being silly. Easy to source or outsource till stock arrives. Shipping companies have billions of them

Companies already supply EU spec palets, where do tou think the EU gets it from? Lol, you guys are actually being serious? I though F2wohf was joking...

You did read the full article? Pallets used by third countries have to be of an approved type and treated to comply with an EU standard. Odds are there aren’t going to be that many EU approved third country pallets in the UK (as they’ve never been required previously).

Even if there was a load available in China they wouldn’t be able to be shipped in time to be in the UK before the end of March.

The problem isn’t sourcing them, it’s sourcing them and having them ready for use in 30 days. You do realise that cargo ships are pretty slow?

 

[C4Cat]

Just to remind us what a **** up brexit actually is...

It's a specific pallet format, with specific marking, a specific width, a specific cleaning.

It's just not your standard pallet.

Go source enough and get it delivered in 30 days for the entire British exports and let me know how it goes.

Again, outsource, shipping companies have them already in the billions. Getting it to the factories adds a degree of pain, which is a limited period of time till palets are sourced from manufacturers who already create EU approved palets. Geesus, none of you ever worked in Companies that ship internationally?

You guys and the article is making it out to be then end of the UK. Solvable probelms with minimum disruptions. They have 4 weeks to sort palets. Ample time. I have worked in material planning in my life. This is fark all

Don't shoot the messenger.

For the hundredth time, I'm all for Brexit.

But it seems that British cannot organize a piss in a brewery anymore.

Shipping companies will have. Will involved logistics to get it to the plants till sources of palets can be found who ALREADY make EU approved palets and have it delivered to the companies who require them

Why would you think any stock in the UK would be of the type required by non-EU countries? There is additional cost and paperwork to use the third country pallets, something no UK (or EU company) would have bothered with, I would presume of someone had thought of this 6 months ago it might not be the problem it is.

This I can agree with. However companies not thinking ahead and planning accordingly is not the Governments problem. Palets are not a UK problem, it's a company problem

They have some. Do they want to keep it for their customers or do they want to sell it to Brits?

They have enough for what they plan in future traffic, not triple their expected use of it.

Manufaturing companies of these palets would gladly accept the bigger demand and up production. It's good for business... You saying they will decline demand for higher production and making bucketloads of money? I wish I was in the palet industry now...

UK logistics complained won’t have them, it’s fairly obvious you don’t quite understand the issue, no UK shipping company is going to have stock of these, they’ve never needed them and due to the additional costs incurred wouldn’t have ever thought of sourcing them before this obscure regulation was suddenly discovered.

I can read (and think) something you’ve frequently shown you’re incapable of...

So where would you be manufacturing these pallets?
