You can get it direct from China for only $1.99, free postage but it might take 2 months to get here. The container ships only take 3 days to cross the Pacific Ocean but they won't leave China until they are full of containers. They slowly move from port to port taking on containers while you wait and wait. You can track the ship your container is on here:=> https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/ho ... 8.9/zoom:3

I see most of them are off the coast of India waiting for a docking space to open up.

Meanwhile, in Detroit, mail service is slower than a slow boat from China.

Mail from Pembroke, GA to someone in Pembroke, GA goes to Savannah, GA to Jacksonville, FL to Savannah, GA to Pembroke,GA.
This is the route even if it is to a post office box in Pembroke.

Ben Franklin would be appalled, at both of the above.

Now, I'm curious about what the Indians buy from China, and what the Chinese import from India.

That's just the ship route Roy. It's all for the Americas. Fill it in China with toys. Then India with furniture.

Robert is correct, they mostly head for the Americas from asia. The ships are hovering around India to pick up India's containers destined for the USA. There are exceptions. Royal Enfield motorcycles, once made in the UK are now made in India and shipped to the UK.
