You guys are right, just depends on a few things comparing to air delivery,

1. Air bulk freight
2. Air expedited freight (this also involves paying "fees" to the local government inspection group for customs)

Even if by boat and there is a queue at port for outbound, there are still additonal "fees" that need paying if you want to jump the line, so to speak.

Net result is a unit price impact of .50 to almost $2 per unit. Just depends on the total cost of all the logisitics parameters getting product from factory to channel partners point of shipment control (inbound).

Plus my perspective is that we almost always shipped launch product expedited air.

Still, I bet our N900's are probably on some funky a55 container bobbing along the sea.
