I know that we are all anxious to get our machines and I know that Grizzly wants us to have them so that they can get paid.
I know nothing about the shipping industry so here is what I envisioned. Lines of trucks at the docks in Seattle being loaded and racing toward the Grizzly distribution centers non stop. Bellingham WA - a few hours, Springfield MO - three or four days, Muncy PA - four or five days.
Well, that has not happened. Must be too expensive. Need to keep the cost down so that the consumers can afford the merchandise and the company make a profit.
No major waterways so that is out. Would take weeks even if it was an option.
Air is certainly out.
Must be rail. Those must be the cars on side tracks that I see waiting days at a time to make up another load to continue onward. Best affordable option but takes FOREVER.
Now that I have it all figured out it is not so hard to wait.
If anyone is in the know, is this correct or do I need to take some logic courses?
