Heres some information from DeCA (The Defense Commissary Agency) you might want to know! Holiday port closures, mechanical breakdowns and severe weather impacts commissaries in the Pacific Commissaries in the Pacific have been impacted by delayed shipments coming from West Coast ports. Shipments headed for our stores in the Pacific have been delayed up to 10 days due to a ship’s mechanical failure, holiday port closures and severe weather along the West Coast during December, said Eric Swayzee, the Defense Commissary Agency’s Director of Logistics. This has impacted the ability of commissaries in Hawaii, Guam, Korea and Japan to keep perishable sections fully stocked. Commissary personnel stand ready to receive incoming shipments immediately upon arrival and stock them to the shelves. With shipments scheduled to arrive weekly, management is keeping customers informed with signs in the stores. “If a customer doesn’t see the product they want to purchase on the shelf, the customer can check with their local store management to find out when it will be received, said David Carey, the Defense Commissary Agency’s Pacific Area Director. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our shoppers during the holiday season.” Nonperishable products are not impacted by shipment delays the same as perishable products because the Defense Commissary Agency operates distribution centers in Korea, Japan and Guam that hold a back stock of nonperishable grocery products.
