Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
I wear Teva sandals all summer, Tirra model, I love them.

I was thinking that with the shortages I should get another pair. Last spring there were maybe 20 colors on their website and the same on Amazon.

Now there is one white pair in my size at the TEVA site, and only an ugly green in stock on Amazon plus maybe a gray. I settled for a lavender one I like that is supposed to come in a month.

It isn't the end of the world at all for me, but I did tell hub to stock up on extra footwear. It's all made in China. If you need special brands for foot problems, get it now.
 Quoting: Prayandprepare000


I had trouble getting new sandals this year too, had to order them because the store didn't have any in stock.
 Quoting: BFD Never Getting Jabbed


I was on Amazon last night trying to order 2 pairs of hiking sandals. Selection is horrible and hard to find in my size.
 Quoting: Happy in Nature


I don't know if size 12 is the most common but I can never find them.

This time though, they barely had any sandals on the shelves.

Same with 32/32 pants as long as I can remember but that's different.

 Quoting: LaGata


I found this out too. I had a lot of it stockpiled, but when I went to replenish...empty shelves! Did everyone go out and get a cat? Anyway, I went and bought a boatload of tuna. It'll be back up if I can't get other food.

Not only that, but the beast will not touch pate. It's gotta be fillets or nothing. Except it will always eat tuna.
 Quoting: AfterAll


I have had excellent luck w/ Petco and Chewy both ordering online.

I buy flats of the cans and keep them in our storage area. Then I get dry food bags and vacuum seal them in unscented clothing bags and keep them in containers for the longer-haul.

See, I'm serious!

Does everyone see the shortages we have? I know there have been threads on food shortages and things. But I tried to buy a garage door today.....was told at Home Depot that they would order one (nothing odd, nothing fancy)...a standard 9x7 door...but it would take at LEAST 12-16 WEEKS!
Tried to order a Chinese (I'm Sure) radio off Amazon...got a email saying it would be delivered in January 2022!!!!

My local Target had absolutely no cat litter on the shelves!

And popular brands of wet cat food were also not available.

 Quoting: Error 502


Yes. What I found is that not all flavor/brands, etc. are available.

We have one very elderly cat who ONLY eats one flavor of ONE type of canned food (Fancy Feast, of course, expensive!). I went to purchase some this week and I couldn't believe how many places in the canned food aisle were EMPTY!

Did not get her food. She ate a little bit of something else I bought, but only because she was so hungry, she had to eat something.

Now we're cooking chicken for her cause we still don't have any of her "flavor" of food....

Ordered 2 cases from Chewy, but only one is coming...

Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
I’ve been a retail executive for 32 years. I know what inventory levels should look like in all stores. OP is 00% right. I see most stores 20-30% before standard inventory levels. It’s real. They are making less for various reasons but at the end of the day it’s because the population will be less. For whatever it’s worth.
 Quoting: Random NiNe


Ah! Well, now THAT's a new angle!

Up to now, most everyone has been blaming the shortages on "supply chain" issues/manufacturing shortages/labor shortages....

NO ONE has said "the population will be less...." but it certainly makes sense!

I believe it.

Even a trade field shortage. I called 7 electricians. The first guy dicked me around for a week. Constantly not showing up and having a multitude of excuses. 5 didn’t answer theirs phones and never returned calls. Finally got someone to come out and give me a quote. Just hope they show up on Friday. Lol

But I’ve been hearing stories like this from so many people who have tried to hire an electrician/plumber/roofer/whatnot.
