Terre Haute? I remember back in the day, Columbia House used to ship from there as well. I'm guessing it's the same warehouse.

I believe Terre Haute is a major shipping hub for the eastern US. I see tons of stuff coming from there

They would probably just bring them into the ports on the west coast since they aren't on strike.

enough about the topic to say for certain but since they are manufactured in China wouldn’t west coast ports be somewhat unscathed? Truckers and air freight aren’t affected so if it became an issue for the rest of the country could Sony and other retailers not just ship west to east? I’m more concerned about food supplies coming in from the Midwest but again CA and the west coast are largely supplied by CA so I guess we’d be fine?

Also Halifax and Montreal, then freight rail. But since it comes from Asia it's probably going to the left coast.They would probably just bring them into the ports on the west coast since they aren't on strike.

There are now some rumors swirling around that the East coast longshoreman union is trying to get the West coast workers to join in solidarity. I don't know the legitimacy of this outside of knowing a couple of port security personnel.
I don't think it will happen though.

I'm not sure how other states are handling it but here in Florida our governor is sending the Florida national guard to help with the shipping in order to keep things moving smooth in this particular state. That's what I call a proactive governor for his people.

Nah. Would be surprised if it didn't come on time. And no biggie if it doesn't as I'm not ditching my launch PS5 until I get it and November is a busy month with a couple of trips so I won't do a ton of gaming anyway.
Working on some Switch and XSX games now anyway, while holding off Spider-Man 2 and RE4 remake on PS5 Pro to play the enhanced versions--and obviously I haven't been dying to play those games since I haven't gotten around to them for so long after they launched.

As a German I'm so sorry to see you guys getting strikes on your shippings again, it wasn't us this time. I'll see myself out, enough internet and alcohol for today.

The shipping strikes is going to hurt European economies as well. Since it's only harbor workers on the east coast and gulf coast that are going to strike, exports from Asia to the west coast won't be affected, but exports from Europe and oil from the Middle East won't get processed. One worry is the European harbors are going to fill up with container ships filled with European products that have nowhere to go to when US harbors close.

heard that could happen. and the union head said they would just do the bare minimum. and it would only be 90 days. so would still cause major delays.

That's what I meant.. I'm in Europe. If Israel takes out Iran's power stations and oil/gas terminals Iran might say fuck it and start sinking ships sailing by. The world economy can't catch a break for years now. Imagine that followed by a Taiwan war for the PS6.

"Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume," the statement read.
