I hope all the ships dock into Fraser Wharf from now on. I used to love that place back in the day when WWL was not in the picture.

Cleared Custom yesterday for 3 cars from Demeter Leader, and called FW several times about release procedure.
But no reply so far.
So I will go to FW this morning to see how bad their customer service is.
I checked other site for update, but nothing valuable information........

So we picked up 2 Delica spacegear this morning, a little mess up there at FW.
But very satisfied with Laura's customer service.
So we have 2 Spacegears available for sale.
Another 1 impreza for tomorrow.
Don't know when we can get 6 vehicles from WWL.

Steven, how did you like the $280.00 per unit dock fees at FW ? I take back any good I ever said about that place.

Another pain for consumers and dealers.
Yen is super strong, WWL is in strike, FW's dock fee is raised to $280 ( nothing to do but to pay
).
Really bad situation now.
BTW, I saw your paper containing 2 subaru and another 1.
Have you got those yet?

I guess the good is that we have the options of FW over nothing. I have 5 of my own units there right now and 11 others for customers. All getting picked up tomorrow.

WTF? BTW the correct subject spelling should be 'on strike'.

Hey,
Sorry for mistyping.
But any difference between "in" and "on" in the subject line?
Let me know if there is anything I should know about.

This is a grammar issue. In the case of the three newspaper articles that you have sighted, "strike" is being used as an adjective, modifying the nouns: threat; action; position. When the word "strike" becomes the noun it becomes "on Strike". This is one of those accepted but not necessarily logical English anomalies. A woman goes in childbirth, not on childbirth; a union goes on strike, not in strike. English is an exceptional language (i.e.; "i" before "e", except after "c"). I believe this is because of all the languages that English is comprised of ~ Germanic; French; Danish; Celtic; Arabic ~ to name a few. Where English has been influenced by different languages, I think the grammar is also potentially affected.

Good to learn, Falco.
Subject amended.
Anyone has information about WWL's current situation?
