June 2009When Your Shipper Goes DownFree seminar will offer alternatives, networking next week Napa, Calif. -- The abrupt shutdown of New Vine Logistics earlier this week sent the wine press, blogosphere and competition into a frenzy, and left clients scrambling for alternatives and in some cases, precious product still being held at the Napa warehouse. As we reported on Monday, despite current uncertainty, some in the direct-sales sector, including Jason Eckenroth, CEO of ShipCompliant, were cautious about proclaiming the demise of NVL. "They're not out of business," he said. "They're looking for more capital." In the meantime, however, ShipCompliant is adding a prequel to its long-planned fourth annual Direct Shipping Seminar scheduled for June 11 in Napa. Compliance and Fulfillment in Uncertain Times, Weds., June 10 from 3:30 to 5 p.m., is billed as "A free, interactive forum to address the many questions surrounding direct-to-consumer shipping logistics and compliance." "We've gotten so many questions relating to the issues of NVL," Eckenroth told Wines & Vines. This extension of the seminar is designed to get affected people together to share ideas and solutions with their peers and have their questions answered by experts in the field.
