There is an official release date we all have to abide by, which has gone out the door for some.

1 week for customs clearance
1 week for inventory check-in, shrink wrap (each box pulled out and fed through a machine), and staged shipping (east coast goes first, then midwest, then west coast).

You'll see it trickling down from distributors to retailers starting next week.

I should say "up to 1 week", there has been times when it's shorter and other times when it's longer. Multiple containers, large shipments, taxes/tariffs, paperwork, etc. You know the drill.

Larry before your days there at TA we saw a container sit there for almost a month. We had been looking for parts for a Regional for TCS and it came down to the last second literally.......That and the Long Beach strike about 8yrs ago or so.....

Wait until you see the 1.9 scaler now. 180d turn around and huge changes......
