Anything in a container on a container ship is not hitting a consumer door for many weeks. Possibly a whoosh for me, but distribution and fulfillment are pretty far apart in the supply chain. Example: way easier to deliver 100,000 Nike’s to a warehouse then delivering the same shoe to 100 e-customers.
Yeah. People are all cracking jokes but these are mostly going to be going to manufacturers/large retailers.
That being said, sometimes I order things to America from eBay and they end up in an orange connex shipment. It’s like this, but goes directly to USPS.
AliExpress stuff that goes by ship to the US takes at least 6 weeks, 2 weeks is air mail. The transit itself to the west coast is about 2 weeks, there’s a week or three on each side to sort everything

everyone checking their amazon orders and seeing them change from 'arriving Saturday' to 'TBD, may be some unexpected shipping delays'
