I am sure that you will get at least a 10% bump.

Didn't I see on the Hudson Leader forum that it was taking EDs nine days from ship to delivery? That isn't too bad. I can't remember when K docked, maybe six days ago??

You are right - it was unloaded last Wednesday. I was just advised that it has been released to the carrier. About a day to go from US custody to trucker's custody. Can't complain about only a day at the VDC.

I am sure this customs lag has something to do with stepped-up security and workload. I think MBs euro deliveries are up, as well, so I think overall, it isn't a whole lot better in LA. I think for you, djlfp, it is because so many ships have gone into PH lately. The port is actually in a lag this week. A LOT of ships docked last week.
So now we will see about trucking. I do not know whether Easter or weekends have any impact, but I am now more confident about meeting my estimate of 13 days. [Six days]
