If you’ve been following the news, especially for Southern California and anything related to the West coast, you may be familiar with the strike at the ports. The strike, which has been going on since late last year, have caused extended delays for us and has created an increasing backlog of shipments out to our customers.

Currently, there are quite a number of vessels anchored out near the port awaiting their turn to be unloaded, while at the port there are containers just sitting, stacked one atop another.

This port congestion has caused major problems, not only for TEIN USA, Inc., but for many more industries.

It seems dock workers and shipping companies have reached a tentative agreement and work will resume. However, the damage has been done, and we still continue to expect major delays.

In total, we have three containers awaiting arrival. One is expected to arrive at the end of this month. Another to arrive a few weeks after. Please note that we will do everything within our ability to try to fulfill our customers’ orders once our shipments have arrived.

On behalf of all of us at TEIN USA, Inc., we thank you for your continued patience.

If any questions on your pending TEIN orders, please do not hesitate to reach our sales team at 562-861-9161. We’ll happily give you updates and address your concerns.
