Balikbayan Boxes -- Any Recent Experiences with Timelines?

3 years ago
Does anyone have any recent updates on personal experiences with tracking, shipping, and timelines for Balikbayan Boxes in 2021?

The Financial Times noted that the cost of "Timeline Guarantees" on international cargo container shipments (port to port) has risen from an average of $2000 USD in 2019 to $25,000 USD today.

Ports in the USA have been backed up with so many of the workers out or periodically quarantined. California recently have 54 ships backed up -- waiting to unload.

I was curious if folks had observed issues/delays and could report first hand knowledge.
