Won't last long as the BNSF is the major rail service to haul the CONEX boxes out and back in and are OVERWHELMED.

GOOGLE looks like SEATTLE is the only port in the US that is keeping up and has no backlog.

Sorry JohnCO
Seems ALL US ports with container handling equipment are bottled up. Covid restrictions, manpower issues(as in no new applicants). Some Blame trucker shortages, others blame rail line cut backs, ever more blame the dock workers, COVID sickened, but it seems there is not a one answer fits all except the most prevalent Elephant in the room Workers, applicants, those that perform the unloading, hauling, emptying of containers and stocking the stores that are in evidence of NOT THERE. Thank Bite Me and Pissy for that. Can hardly wait to See what happens when US farm Exports cannot leave as nobody to haul, load, or place in ships to feed the rest of the world, famine, disease, will become horrific at best.

Not having product to sell must be cutting into their bottom line.

There are other ports not nearly as busy as L.A., they can go north to Seattle or Vancouver, the containers will go directly to Costco distribution centers via rail or truck. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see wally world do the same thing. It would be nice to see more stuff made in North America.

Costco has a fleet of trucks already wouldn't be hard to add some as needed just need to build their own port to get around the longshore Union that's bottling up everyone's shippment

So,,after years of the steamship lines thinking they were cutting a fat hog on heavy discounts and convincing themselves market share was the answer they found out you can't do it for free forever.However, they are still going to need a port To unload the ships and a bunch of trucks to deliver that stuff.

So Costco also has their own ports and fleet of trucks with drivers to move products? Not seeing how owning a ship will solve the problem

Costco has joined Home Depot in renting its own container ships to prevent delays and keep costs down as the global shipping crisis rages on.
In a call with analysts Thursday, Costco CFO Richard Galanti said the company had chartered three ships to import products from Asia to the US and Canada. This would help Costco avoid spending six times the normal price on shipping or containers through a third party, he said. Each ship could carry between 800 to 1,000 containers at a time, he said. The company had also leased "several thousand containers for use on these ships," he said. Costco expected to make about 10 deliveries over the next year using these ships, accounting for around 20% of its imports from Asia, he said. The big-box chain is among a large group of retailers grappling with an ongoing supply chain crisis that's causing delays and shortages. Falling demand in the first half of 2020, followed by a surge at the back end of the year, has led to delays, port traffic jams, and blockages. A lack of containers and dock workers has made the situation worse. At the same time, retailers are being hit by truck and driver shortages, leading to further delays and higher costs. "As I discussed on last quarter's call, inflationary factors abound," Galanti said. "Higher labor costs, higher freight costs, higher transportation demand, along with container shortages and port delays ... It's a lot of fun right now." Costco's standard rollout time for new products in its stores had doubled in some cases, he said, adding that furniture, toys, computers, video games, and appliances had the biggest delays.
