Foster’s Food Fair, Ltd. (Foster’s IGA, Priced Right, and Bay Market) would like to inform their customers that, their shipment was processed and on its way, however, due to North West and Westerly sea’s they’ve been at a standstill and are expected to dock tomorrow (September 12th, 2017) at 6:00 PM. With this being the case, they will work overnight and get products on the shelves for Wednesday morning.
Looking forward, they are still in conversation with both air and sea shipping carriers regarding the extent of damage Miami has endured from Hurricane Irma. Overall, the damage appears to be minimal, however, there is still no electricity and damage assessments are still being carried out.
Once the ships come in tomorrow (Tuesday 12th) they should be in good shape to get them to the next boat, which hopefully will be this coming weekend. They are in very good shape generally but the perishable items which they cannot store in large quantities, due to dating, are the items which may run out of stock. Miami International Airport remains closed today and will be assessed for cargo operations to resume tomorrow. Once Miami Airport reopens they will do their best to fill the gaps in produce through air deliveries. Their primary freight consolidators in Miami are already back to work putting together their shipments for the next outbound vessels. Their wholesalers will be back to work either today or tomorrow morning and will be processing orders as normal.
They would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation in this time of uncertainty and can assure you they will keep you updated as best they can. It is important to verify information before acting on it.
