Brambles drops 20% after U.S. pallet logjam cuts outlook

Brambles Ltd dropped 20% Monday, marking its biggest one-day loss in more than 20 years.

Shares ended at A$17.63, down A$4.47, with high volume. The loss is significant for Brambles, which isn’t a minor player in transport. The company, known mostly for its CHEP brand, has a global reusable pallet, crate, and container system covering around 60 countries. North America and Europe account for most of its business.

Amazon Opens Its Logistics Machine To Everyone, And UPS And FedEx Feel The Hit

Amazon.com is now letting other businesses tap into its logistics network, transforming what started as an in-house delivery operation for its retail juggernaut into a broader service—one that stores, ships, and moves products for firms from all corners of the economy.

Evri deliveries in Oxford are back on track, Motor Transport reported, after the abrupt halt that followed its cargo-bike partner Pedal & Post shutting down. The collapse adds to pressure in the sector: Zedify, another cargo-bike operator, went into administration last year blaming low volumes and steep costs. This episode is significant: major couriers increasingly rely on local partners for that “last mile” stretch—from depot to door—particularly across city centers, where traffic and regulations squeeze van delivery costs. If a small contractor suddenly folds, parcels end up stranded wherever they were dropped.
