V-am spus acum mai bine de o saptamana ca Apple a inceput sa livreze primele tablete iPad 3 catre SUA si alte locatii de pe glob iar acest lucru se dovedeste a fi adevarat. Cei de la Macrumors au aflat ca marile companii transportatoare de marfa din China catre occident au probleme in a gasi spatii de stocare pentru toti clientii lor obisnuiti. De ce exista atat de multe probleme? Ei bine pentru ca Apple a cumparat o foarte mare parte din spatiile de transport, companiile contractate crescand cu aproape 20% pretul normal al transportului in urma acestui lucru.
While rumors of iPad 3 shipments already being en route having been circulating for some time now, we’re now hearing from shipping representatives at other companies who are having a difficult time even getting their products shipped over to the United States from China as Apple’s preparations for the iPad 3 launch have significantly squeezed the air freight industry. One shipping representative told MacRumors last week that his freight broker in China has been scrambling to find space for his company’s shipments, with shipping rates rising 20% in one week as Apple has snapped up available capacity at premium rates. Another shipping manager told us a similar story today, with his company being unable to find space with its usual carrier due to Apple’s demand and having to scramble to find alternatives for moving products overseas.
Din moment ce atat de mult buzz a fost generat in jurul tabletei iPad 3, este perfect normal ca Apple sa aduca un numar impresionant de unitati in SUA stiind ca foarte multi utilizatori vor fi interesati sa cumpere tableta. Din pacate pentru restul companiilor care au fabrici in China produsele lor vor ajunge in cantitati mult mai mici pe aeroporturile din lumea intreaga si acest lucru nu se va schimba prea curand pentru ca se anunta cateva luni cu stocuri reduse pentru noua tableta a companiei Apple.
UPDATE: Se pare ca DHL este compania cea mai solicitata de catre Apple.
