In this short YouTube clip, Lara Guevara addresses a common blind spot among founders: not knowing whether expedited freight is an option with their factory or third‑party logistics (BPL) provider. She urges founders to ask about expedited shipping well before peak season, obtain the exact cost and delivery timeline in writing, and then evaluate that option against the potential revenue loss from delayed sales. By treating the expedited freight quote as a concrete alternative rather than a guess made under pressure, founders can make a data‑driven decision about whether the extra shipping expense is justified.

Got a question this week. What if I don't actually know if expedited freight is even an option with my factory or BPL? Fair, and honestly, a lot of founders don't know either because they've never had to ask. Ask this week, not during peak season. Get the actual cost and the actual timeline in writing so it's a real option you can compare against staying lost sales instead of guess you're making under pressure.
