Joor introduces 'Ready-to-Ship Style' for in-season buying and tariff mitigation
This initiative directly addresses the evolving retail landscape, characterized by shorter lead times and more agile buying patterns. Joor's proprietary data highlights a significant shift: the average time from wholesale order to shipment has dramatically decreased from 253 days in 2019 to just 86 days in 2024, underscoring a fundamental change in how buyers plan their assortments. The company seeks to alleviate industry pressures related to agility, inventory risk, and anticipated global tariffs.
Amanda McCormick Bacal, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Joor, stated in a press release, 'In today's retail environment, brands are seeking efficient ways to offload existing inventory while retailers need the flexibility to make data-driven buying decisions closer to delivery windows. Our Ready-To-Ship Style event delivers on both fronts.'
Another significant driver behind this launch is the increasing importance of "evergreen" products—classic, seasonless styles consistently in demand. These items constituted 47 percent of Joor's gross merchandise value (GMV) in 2024, a notable rise from 37 percent in 2019, indicating a clear trend towards reliability and commercial consistency.
Furthermore, the platform is proactively responding to expected price increases stemming from new global trade tariffs. A recent Joor survey revealed that 85 percent of brands anticipate raising prices soon, prompting buyers to secure inventory before costs escalate. Eight week digital event
The eight-week digital event, hosted on Joor Passport—the company's virtual venue for digital showrooms and fashion week experiences—offers buyers a curated selection of bestsellers, carryover styles, and new in-stock merchandise. The event concludes on August 18, 2025. Since its inception, Joor Passport has facilitated over 100 events, attracting more than 475,000 retail visitors from 174 countries.
Founded in New York, Joor is recognized as the fashion industry's premier B2B wholesale platform, processing nearly 20 billion dollars in annual transactions. Its extensive client base includes luxury powerhouses such as LVMH, Richemont, and Capri, alongside partnerships with prominent retailers like Harrods, Selfridges, and Dover Street Market.
With "Ready-To-Ship Style," JOOR solidifies its position not merely as a transactional platform but as a vital strategic tool for navigating the intricate intersection of fashion, logistics, and global economics.

‘A hidden passport rule meant I was denied boarding'
✉ I booked to fly with Norwegian from Gatwick to Copenhagen on August 3, but when I reached the gate I was denied boarding by the ground handling agents. This was due to an additional passport validity requirement imposed by the Danish government which Norwegian didn't tell me about, but should have. My passport was issued in September 2015 and expires in March 2026. For my August flight dates, it therefore met the two Schengen conditions on the UK government's website (it was issued within ten years of the date of entry and was valid for at least three months after my departure), but it didn't meet an additional requirement imposed by the Danish government that I travel within nine years and nine months of the passport issue date. There were two opportunities for Norwegian to tell me about it. The first was when I submitted my passport information once the flight had been booked. The second was when the agent checked my passport and boarding card at the bag drop. If I'd been told at this point, I would have been able to rebook my flight because it was a flexible ticket. I'm looking to reclaim the cost of my original ticket as well as the replacement, as well as some level of compensation for the inconvenience caused to me. Can you help?Vanessa Ralph A This is a ridiculous situation. I'm sorry to say that getting a refund or compensation will be very tricky. Your passport is valid under Schengen area rules but Denmark has decided to apply a stricter interpretation than other Schengen countries. Infuriatingly, it has failed to publicise this, while online UK government foreign travel advice hasn't caught up with this problem and just offers standard Schengen entry advice for Denmark. Understandably, you're blaming Norwegian for your losses but passengers are responsible for making sure their documents are accepted by the country they are going to, not airlines, which tend to check passport validity at the gate because not all passengers fly with checked luggage. It won't refund or compensate you and said it had attempted, without success, to get the Danish authorities to highlight this issue to travellers. I can only advise you to get a new passport if you are planning any more trips to Denmark. The Danish embassy in the UK was approached for comment. • How many months do I need on my passport to travel? ✉ Back in November I bought easyJet flights to La Rochelle in France from London Gatwick and hired a nine-seater minivan for our family via CarTrawler as part of the booking. The flights were at sensible times and everything looked fine. Since then, easyJet has changed the flight times twice. Originally the outbound flight was at noon, this was first changed to 14.00, then later to 07.30. Our inbound flights were alsochanged significantly and to much more inconvenient times, with no recourse. It now transpires that, even though it is part of the same booking, easyJet has not told the car hire partner of these changes. I tried to amend the times myself and was told there was a £400 difference in the car hire cost. Surely this can't be correct? I've tried to contact easyJet but that's nigh-on impossible. Can you help?Gary Sinton A One of the most annoying aspects of booking a flight is that there's no guarantee that the time you've chosen to fly will actually be the time you depart and unless the time difference is significant, there's very little you can do about it. Furthermore, even though they caused the problem in the first place, airlines wash their hands of any resulting issues with ancillary bookings made on their websites. So your rental time change could only be sorted out through CarTrawler. Its rules state that a material change in the pickup/return time will result in a 're-rate' if a customer amends the booking. So your booking was cancelled and rebooked, with the new cost based on live pricing and availability. Fortunately, after I sent details of your case, CarTrawler contacted Europcar and confirmed that it would honour the new flight times and amend the booking in its system, with no price change. It also apologised for the inconvenience caused. • The coastal city Parisians love — and you can get there by train ✉ My family and I would like to travel to Italy on holiday next month. We're looking for a small, family-run hotel, directly on the beach and not too far from an airport where we can get a half-board deal. Anywhere on the Adriatic coast would be lovely. Any ideas?Susan Douglas • 20 of the best beaches in Italy A Stay at the sleek Mariver in Lido di Jesolo, about half an hour from Venice's Marco Polo airport. It's right on the Adriatic, but away from the main strip, with its own private beach and heated pools (never a given in Italy) as well as bikes to borrow. A week's half-board at the end of September starts at £1,470pp with Italian specialist Long Travel, including flights to Venice (with hold baggage and transfers ( ✉ My Uncle Tom died in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in 1945. He is buried in the War Cemetery — also known as the Australian Cemetery — in Ambon, an island in Indonesia, in the Maluku province. No one from our family has ever been to the grave and my brother and I would like to visit it with our spouses next year. I think we need to fly via Jakarta but I'm finding it hard to get a lot of information about visiting Ambon and things to do while we're there and, as it's such a long journey, we'd also like to have a bolt-on holiday. What can you suggest?Fiona Stewart A This would undoubtedly be an emotional trip to pay your respects to your uncle who suffered so terribly. It would then be a chance to explore the remote tropical Maluku (or Spice) Islands, between Sulawesi and Papua. Fly to Ambon from Jakarta and a visit to the cemetery, immaculately maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, is included in local operator Come2Indonesia's seven-night Ambon and Kei Islands tour, which would also have you snorkelling with the sacred eels of Waii, learning about local customs and picnicking on pristine white sand beaches. It would cost about £1,350pp in May, including B&B, most meals, transport and guiding but excluding international flights and visas ( ✉ We celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary in November and usually go to the Cliff Bay hotel in Madeira. This year we have decided to go somewhere in England. Could you please suggest a hotel that is super comfy and not too strenuous a destination? Just a couple of days will do. We live in Leicestershire and are open to driving to the destination or taking the train. Karen Ward A I think a few days at the Samling Hotel in Windermere would be a suitably cosseting spot for your anniversary celebration. It has 12 calmly decorated rooms, suites and cottages, plus fabulously elevated views and one of the Lake District's best restaurants, with full-length windows in the slate and glass extension overlooking the water. B&B doubles start from £340 in the middle of November ( Have you got a holiday dilemma? Email traveldoctor@

Back-to-school shopping season hits fever pitch – here's how to nab a bargain
The summer holidays might still be in full swing, but for many families, the countdown to a new school year has already begun — and with it comes the annual shopping scramble. A new survey by AliExpress, has found that nearly two-thirds of people admit to feeling stressed about ticking everything off their back-to-school shopping list. And for mums, the load is even heavier: almost half (47%) say the responsibility for getting the essentials in falls squarely on their shoulders. With just weeks to go until the start of the autumn term, August is peak time for spending on school and university must-haves. A quarter (25%) of students and parents are hitting the shops — or more likely, their laptops — right now. In fact, more than one in ten (14%) say the week of 18 August is the time to kick-start their shopping, perfectly timed with the launch of the AliExpress Back-to-School Sale. Running from 18–27 August, the sale is packed with deals on everything from laptops and printer accessories to gaming gear, small appliances and even foldable e-bikes. The first 48 hours will see shoppers bag up to £100 off orders over £500 — the biggest discount of its kind yet. Gone are the days when back-to-school shopping meant just a blazer and a pencil case. Today's lists are expanding… and so are the pressures. Tech gadgets (22%) now rank almost as highly as stationery (33%) for must-buy items. Looking sharp is also on the agenda, with 14% feeling the need to add new beauty products to the basket before term starts. 'Back-to-school is one of the busiest and most exciting times of the year,' says Bonnie Zhao, AliExpress UK's General Manager. 'But we know it can also be stressful. That's why we're offering deals to help customers stretch their budgets and still get everything they need.' The research also revealed a gender gap in how people feel about the financial strain of the season. More than one in ten men (13%) strongly disagree that the back-to-school rush impacts their finances, compared to just 3.5% of women. A quarter of men say they don't feel the pinch at all, versus 14% of women. Despite the pressures, shopping intentions remain strong. Almost half (42%) say they won't let money worries stop them from buying what they need, and nearly a quarter (23%) admit they actively wait for discount events before getting started. This year's AliExpress Back-to-School Sale will feature lightning deals, exclusive bundles and must-haves at value prices, alongside free shipping and easy returns. Plus, first-time Klarna Pay users will get an extra discount on top of existing offers. The countdown is on – and for families across the UK, August isn't just about squeezing in the last beach trip. It's about stocking up smart, saving money, and getting ready to start the new term in style.
