Got a message from our Freight Forwarder today: Vessel is due in Oakland Port on 8-20. I suspect the vessel is moored off the coast of LA while it waits for a spot to open to moor near SF Bay. We expected delivery by 8-27 if it gets off loaded on 8-20, and I that is still in the cards unless there is a special examination ordered by Home Land Security. We are chosen at random for this extra exams and have to pay $1,000 to $1,500 for the pleasure and wait another 7-10 days the inspection process to be complete. I have to tell you all, if there was another way to get models over here, or make them here, I would do it. This is for the birds.
We will keep customers informed as we get updated ourselves.
If you don't remember, models were finished and we were ready to ship on June 25th.
Cheers,
Scott Mann
