GGD Viewliners and Amfleets ship to buyers at the end of August. The container is at least in the territorial waters of the US. I can't speak for MMW as I am not a customer and I have nothing positive or negative to say about the company as such. I will simply state that their models are outstanding and someday maybe when I grow up I can afford them.
On a more serious note, COVID has really stressed the industry. Without travel back and forth the Asia, one must try and do quality control on one end of a Skype or Zoom call. It's just not a great time for the industry in general, but that is in line with how other products outside our little world of trains is. In my big boy job in the construction industry I have a project that ordered steel joists in July. The anticipated delivery date is April of '22. It got pushed up to February and there was much rejoicing. This is not normal, but assuming Delta variant runs its course and it will, normal will likely return in early '22 assuming Epsilon doesn't come along. The wood industry has already gotten back to a new "normal" of price stability.
