NEW DIGITAL PIANOS DELAYED! - WEST COAST DOCKWORKERS DISPUTE - Huge Impact & Slowdown of retail & wholesale product to US stores, warehouses, farms, and thousands of businesses

February 12, 2015 Report UPDATE - New Digital Pianos Delayed! - West Coast Dock Workers Dispute - Huge Impact & Slowdown of Retail & Wholesale Product of all types to US stores, warehouses, farms, and thousands of businesses.

If you discover or have discovered that your favorite new product (electronics, clothing, vehicles, building materials, toys, games, pianos, etc, etc) food, services, or other retail or business items are not available right now and/or have been back-ordered for weeks or months, you are not alone. One of the worst west coast dockworkers slowdown in quite awhile has severely hindered large ships, tankers, and other supply vessels coming in from China and other manufacturing countries from docking and unloading their cargo at many ports in California. The pileup of ships outside the ports are so severe that the vessels are waiting for days and are miles away from the ports with nowhere else to go!

Most digital & acoustic pianos are manufactured overseas and are also affected in a big way, and when they do make it to their US destination warehouse, store, or other facility, there may only be a fraction of what was originally requested. So if you find yourself wondering why there are many new models of popular digital pianos that are not available right now and you are having an extremely hard time finding them anywhere in the US, this is the primary reason. There are always other reasons such as the particular item is simply very popular and they sell out or become unavailable quickly on a normal basis, but this sever dockworkers slowdown just makes that problem much worse with longer delays.

If you have something on order, like a new digital pianos, and you really want one, you're just going to have to be very patient because you'll eventually get it...but you'll have to wait. Yamaha, Roland, and Kawai are just a few of the notable brands that have their main US corporate headquarters and warehouse in Southern California where some of the worst dock unloading delays are taking place. I suppose things could be worse like having no gas to drive you car to work or not having electricity or food or clothing. But those special things you need or want that are made in Asia and nearby countries which ship product to the West Coast of the US is what is primarily
affected. Other shipping ports in other parts of the US are not affected so at least there is a freer flow of incoming product to other US ports. But California is a very big pace with a lot of coastline and ports so this situation is not a small thing and no one yet knows when it's all going to end and regular normal shipping will begin. Another downside of this product shortage situation is pricing to consumers. Don't expect to get a great deal right now on something you want that is in high demand and out of stock. You may be paying a premium just to get one once they come in because of the big backlog. My advice is...if you want a new digital piano and can afford it in your price range, buy it before someone else does because everyone will be in the same boat...haha! Stay tuned for further updates.
