Regarding the 11 day Maresk passage... it will take more than that to get the item OUT of the factory, TO the ship sailed across then in the port etc... <br /> <br />I think another issue is Port Capacity. Baltimore has "Anchorage Grounds" down the Cheaspeake near Annapolis that serves as a "Parking Lot" for ships waiting to dock. I suspect some of these could take a few days. <br /> <br />Also shipping comes from many ports not just the far east. You have Austrailia, India and the Med that have challenging sea passages to get to US shores. <br /> <br />
