Discharged from vessel at port of transshipment???

[DennisLinkletter]

I've shipped hundreds of containers from Asia in the last 25 years.. I've often had containers get stuck in Singapore trying to get on the Mother ship to the States especially durning the pre-Christmas rush..

But this is a first.. my last box was "discharged" in Kobe Japan... I never knew that any of the big mother ships did anything but go directly to the States.. It looks like the Japanese pay more and can get boxes pulled and sidelined so their boxes have a place..

I will raise hell to deaf ears.. Especially difficult to swallow when I'm paying almost $5,000 for a 40' container. This bumps up the ETA to July 14th.

Sounds like they need to load a few coolers or kobe beef in there for the inconvenience. By the time it arrives it will be perfectly aged.
