The unique difference is that CLX+ will arrived at PIER A-the port owned and operated by Matson JV, while CLX will arrive at EXCLUSIVE USE TERMINAL. The facilities of PIER A is shared by Matson and other shipping companies, so unloading on PIER A may take a longer time.

3.Shenzhen (Yantian)-Los Angeles-Truck delivery
The shipping service from Shenzhen (Yantian) to LA is exactly the same with the former way. After unloading the containers, the packages will be delivered by truck rather than by express service.

In special times, for example, in 2021, the transit time took 48 to 60 days due to labor shortage and other social reasons.
