Wing and Dante internal/external

[GaryH]

Can't wait for my Wing-Dante to arrive...playing with internal while I wait...anyone else got any insight? I have heard May18 but my Sweetwater rep says July...which really sucks. I love my rep but I hope he's wrong in this case.

The stuck shipping containers in the Suez Canal has been a huge issue for almost everyones shipments.

To add to the trouble, the ship that got stuck in the canal and caused all of this is seized by the Egyptian(?) government so all of those containers are standing still as for now...

I worried about this, figured that couldn’t be THE ship. My luck. That said, how many people preordered a card in the USA? I would say 100 would be a lot. Anyone ever hear of airplanes. Surely that small of an item could be sent both easily and quickly....I digress. I of course want mine yesterday.

If all that was going to the USA was 100 WING Dante cards, then yeah, maybe air freight would be OK. But I'm guessing that those new cards went along with all the other stuff coming out of the China production site going by ocean freight to the USA.

[GaryH]

I don't doubt that it's true. My thought was why is that the ONLY way to deliver new products in the US (or anywhere), esp smaller ones like add on cards. I know it's not that simple but getting products to market like this can't be great for generating sales and is so very slow. And mostly I am not a patient guy

This video is excellent and really lays things out with regard to supply chain issues around the world:
