Moving container delivery dates repeatedly postponed without warning

A customer had their moving container delivery delayed twice without proactive notification, discovering each postponement only via email the day before. These repeated delays with no reliable timeline create logistical chaos for people coordinating moves, housing transitions, and time off work. Poor communication from logistics providers compounds the operational failure.
