Panama canal -> Houston: $20,400. 54 days
Los Angeles -> train to Dallas: $25,278. 60 days
Los Angeles -> truck to D $27,381. 34 days
Fly to Dallas airport $170,206.60. 12 days

Fortunately, we don't have to pay these charges...
Why?
Because our suppliers have been shut down there for going on 1.5 months, so we have nothing to ship.

NB that these prices change all the time. They're actually quite cheap from Vietnam because they've stopped exporting these days.
The idea is just to give you a sense of what stuff costs.
Sea shipping used to be 20% of these costs.
Air...I'm not sure

Another interesting factoid:
The cost of our smaller items triples if we go from sea to air shipping.
It septuples (7x) for our big items.
