Anglia Components cautions customers in the UK and Europe who use supply chains overseas warehousing like US-Based supply chains, to be extremely cautious of serious challenges.
The carbon impact is constantly increased when parts are shipped worldwide. The two main “high service” distribution companies, or “self service” as John Bowman, Anglia’s marketing director, calls them, both ship only from central USA locations.
Compared to delivering the identical items from the US, Anglia’s UK distribution center in Wisbech emits seven times less CO2 when shipping to customers in the UK or continental Europe.
According to its official press release, Anglia affirms that the company takes a more thorough approach. To protect against price changes brought on by tariffs or exchange rate variations, orders might be placed.
In addition to giving us an advantage over many of our rivals, having a distribution and logistics center in the UK also solves the sustainability issue and guarantees that products are accessible for quick one- or two-day delivery.
FedEx ships parts to customers in the EU with Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). Orders placed up until 17:00 (CET) Monday through Thursday are shipped the same day, and invoices are available in a variety of currencies.
Orders above €50/$60 qualify for free DDP delivery, and there is no minimum order amount.
Leadership Comments
The current geopolitical instabilities and trade wars have massively impacted supply chains. John Bowman: “We are seeing leading semiconductor manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, which has consolidated its distribution network for its own gain with little regard for what the customer wants, choosing to increase prices across the board in response to international trade conditions and tariffs. The supply chain can be fragile and putting all ‘one’s eggs in one basket’ – both from the manufacturer and customer’s perspectives – is dangerous.”
Also, Anglia has recently launched a loyalty scheme which offers Anglia Live customers 90 day credit terms and rewards worth up to £2,500. Adds Bowman: “We are big enough to offer the best logistics practices, but not so corporate that we forget about true customer service and what UK and EU customers really need”
