The surge in global demand as more economies around the world open up is severely constraining supply and leading to stock outages. Even with the best planning, lead times are being extended due to transportation and logistical issues. Transportation issues are occurring in every leg of the journey - from getting raw materials to factories, finished goods to the port, from shipping goods overseas from one port to another, and shipping from domestic ports to our supplier’s warehouses.
We are seeing this in all imported products. It’s impacting finished goods, as well as, products assembled in the US as parts are also being delayed. Ports in both countries are suffering from severe congestion.
Thank you, to all of our customers for your continued support and patience!
