The 1st container of “New Engine Kits” from the 2nd production run is on the Hyundai Victory and is scheduled to arrive in Savanna. GA on Nov 15, 2021. From there, the container will be trucked to the Franklin, KY warehouse for distribution.
With the ongoing Los Angeles/Long Beach port problems and the high cost of doing business in CA, the 2nd container of “New Engine Kits” is on the Hyundai Respect and is scheduled to arrive in Savanna, GA on Dec 7, 2021. This container will also be trucked to Franklin, KY.
Shipping from Franklin, KY to most of the USA is more economical than shipping from Hawthorne, CA. When quantities of “New Engine Kits” are shipped together to the same address the shipping cost per kit goes way down. The cost also goes down when shipped to a commercial address instead of a residential address.
If you know of someone in your area or a couple of people getting a “New Engine Kit”, Place your order together and ship to a single destination. The shipping costs go down a lot when you start combining orders. Shipping 2 to 3 blocks kits together can save up to 20% to 30% for each engine kit compared to shipping a single-engine kit.
The 2 containers coming do not have enough “New Engine Kits” to fill all orders, so the factories in China have agreed to continue production run #2 at the price negotiated before they were forced to change from coal to electrical furnaces.
Production run #2 will continue until there is sufficient stock in the warehouses to fill orders for some period.
