I saw too where in an attempt to beat the maritime shipping nightmare Walmart purchased it's own fleet of container vessels but still has to  wait for it's turn to offload at the port same as everybody else. Something like 78 container ships were waiting in the harbor as of a couple of days ago. Fortunately, faced with the prospect of daily fines containers once offloaded are getting on their way to their destinations a bit faster. In past years at Ground things would slow down sometimes quite a a bit 3-4 days before Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised if this year it's the  complete opposite.</blockquote>
