I'm guessing they took a hit to margin, but even if you take the margin to 0, you're still not helping. Most companies who are in the business of importing/exporting goods are going to be in the sub 10% range. When shipping prices go up like they have, you're literally off by an order of magnitude. Single digit margin cuts isn't going to make a dent.

We have had to increase prices, but on most things aren't maintaining the normal percentage margin. We've really trimmed down on some products, which is making it tricky because our operating costs are going up too.

Most people in the supply chain are doing the same, 'breathing in' and hoping we get through this mess.
