    Default Expect bulk imports to be delayed for most of 2021

    There’s a massive amount of newer games (and 1/2 million Pachinko balls) we picked up in Dec and learned (the hard way) there’s no containers of any size and no ships available. We’re still another month out just in our case (with nearly 3x the cost). Shippers are happily breaking contracts with regular customers who have agreements to ship specific volume per month because they can demand substantially more money and everyone is paying it. I was told this will carry on for most of 2021 before global trade in Asia normalizes.

    The green below represents container ships. You can’t even see Japan. These ships are fully booked going back and forth at least 5 times already.

    So where are you storing all this inventory while waiting for a container? That's going to be a large storage bill cause of the wait.

    Is the D Clock Pachinko Machine part of the inventory?

    Cost of doing business occasionally

    There is a d-clock in that shipment and sold already. If you don’t have one lined up- I’ll get a quote and add it to this shipment.

    Yeah, I would really like one .

    I thought I did email on your Modern Pachinko Web Site about wanting one . I think you said that it's new so it's going to be a couple $1,000 .

    That was true when it first came out (as nearly every game is). Price has since normalized and is nowhere near that now (yay!).
