An Exporter is now worried his business will suffer with the new documentation requirements.

He really should know better.

tough imho

no point crying over spilt milk.

Dare say he was swayed by that red bus caper

If he’s worried about a bit of paperwork, he shouldn’t really be in business.

Hmm. Possible double whammy to economy from 'Rona and Brexit. 2021 going to be, er....................... well, lets say interesting.

Your missing the point. If the costs of extra paperwork and documentation exceeds his marginal benefits to his customers they will find an alternative supplier. These are costs that both the customer and supplier have to bear in return for what?

It's less that he's worried about the bit of paperwork he will have to fill in, but rather the bit of paperwork that his customer will have to.
I read his words as him saying he thought at least some of his customers would buy elsewhere, than fill in the extra forms.

Akin to online shopping; if I have to register for an account, or can't pay with PayPal, I shop elsewhere. I can't be bothered with the hassle.

So if his customers have to fill in a form when they buy from him, won’t they have to do the same wherever they buy from? It’s a bit like a losing football team saying the pitch was bad when it was bad for both teams.

No, not if the other suppliers are still in the EU.

Not if they buy from EU suppliers - listen to what he said.

 

[Mottie]

No, not if the other suppliers are still in the EU.

So why weren’t they buying from those EU suppliers in the first place?

The football analogy doesn't really apply, a team that plays long ball would prefer a lumpy pitch to one that tries to play it on the ground.

Presumably because the UK supplier was better in some way, but was it that much better? Maybe not.

Then the other team deserves to lose for not adapting. Is there a reason they can’t play the long ball game?

So he shouldn't be in business because competitors exist?

Why do people buy from Tesco when there is Sainsburys.

Stop drinking so early in the day!
