Thread: Update from Steves Wholesale

4 weeks wait for ships on the US coast to dock, so i heard from one of our shipping companies. NZ is being dropped altogether from schedules due to the very attractive offers for ships to ply the China_EU/US routes for xmas.

A usual update from a shipping agent says something like "Inbound prices going up another $500/container, as they have been every fortnight. Delays 1 week longer again form these countries X,XX,XXX. XXXX is not even responding to or accepting any further shipping orders until Nov 2021. Were doing the best we can but another shipping line just ditched NZ, hoping to re-route via Sydney..." and its been this way for months.
