Master Siam’s global sales began to skyrocket when online shopping soared during the pandemic. The Bangkok-based manufacturer of fine jewelry exports 95% of its orders to the U.S. and was concerned it wouldn’t meet its 14-day delivery promise at a time when the world experienced massive shipping delays

The Challenge

Maintaining a fast-shipping deadline in the face of pandemic challenges, or losing business                                            

Master Siam’s goods went from averaging three days in transit to up to 10 days, putting them at risk for losing customers. “My customers could not wait,” said Khun Joy, managing director of Master Siam. “They started to use a factory in the U.S. for faster delivery.”
