Why 2025 Peak Season Will Break You (Unless You’re Ready)

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor chat with Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost and host of Unboxing Logistics, to discuss what’s ahead for Peak Season 2025, and why it may be the most unpredictable one yet.

They explore the key challenges brands are facing, from rising shipping costs and tariffs to shaky consumer confidence and outdated systems. Lori shares findings from EasyPost’s latest research, offering practical ways retailers can build flexibility into their operations and stay ahead of volatility. You’ll hear why microsurges are reshaping peak season, and why diversifying your carrier mix could make all the difference.

For supply chain pros, brand leaders, and operators heading into the busiest time of year, this episode is packed with takeaways you can actually use to stay agile and win peak season, and not just survive it.
