Between shifting trade policies, escalating tariffs, and unpredictable port delays, the political landscape is creating chaos for e-commerce businesses shipping internationally. What you could ship profitably yesterday might leave you stuck with massive unexpected fees today.
In this episode of Deal Closers, we welcome Jason Brown, founder and CEO of Deliveri, a soon-to-launch platform aiming to give small and mid-sized e-commerce brands an edge. Jason shares how Deliveri helps founders navigate the volatile shipping environment — from skyrocketing costs to confusing customs processes — and why having a smarter logistics strategy isn’t just about saving money, it's about surviving.
You’ll learn:
- How the ever-changing tariff environment is reshaping global e-commerce
- What "demurrage costs" are and how they can quietly destroy your margins
- Why most e-commerce founders are dangerously underestimating shipping’s impact on conversions
- How Deliveri is leveling the playing field with enterprise-level shipping rates for small brands
- What DDP vs DAP means — and why it could make or break your international sales
