Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
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!!!!
Crap's getting REAL Bad!
 Quoting: Dr FossilFuel Burner


Trust me. Do NOT BUY a garage door from Home Depot. You’ll regret it. Go find a local source. It’ll be 500% better and it’ll be made in the USA. Home Depot is a Chinese run fucked up company.
 Quoting: LunaTuna


Yeah....you are right...that is my next stop for the garage door. Was trying to save some money for my daughter.....

Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
You can stock up on bulk food supplies at [link to www.azurestandard.com (secure)] It is a nationwide food distribution service that delivers to select grocery stores and other locations throughout the US. I buy organic oats and beans from them, they deliver every two weeks to one of my local grocery stores, just go there and pick it up. They have all kinds of healthy foods, check it out.

I have trouble finding Fancy Feast sometimes. They turn their noses up at any other kind of canned. I've been finding the dry food though.

Chewy.com consistently had the cat food my kitties favor, even when the two local supermarkets were out. It's simple to open an account with them, and they have great customer service. Free shipping over $49.

Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
I am friends with the gentleman who runs the Sears in my town. He always hooks me up with deals and is an honest guy(also happens to be a vet)
I told him I needed a washing machine and I pointed at three and he said he couldn’t sell them, I asked about a couple more and same story so I asked how bout you tell me what you can sell. We started talking about the shortage and he told me he can’t sell the machines on the floor because they want the store to look full but there are very few to any machines in the pipeline coming anytime soon. Same with fridges/freezers/ac etc
 Quoting: Sheol


Ordered a Maytag frige this past June on an appliance site, since both Home Depot and Lowes were out of stock. The site led you to believe the item was in stock and gave a delivery date in July. When that date came and went, I made an inquiry. They said it was delayed and was scheduled for late August. Called last week to confirm. They said it would not arrive until late October. The rep then confessed that my order is grouped with 35 others going back to April 2020. The orders between Jan and Mar 2020 totalled 900 and those were just shipped out!

Re: Shortage of EVERYTHING!
Glad i bought the components for wood stove install yesterday, my local ACE had them in stock but just enough for my install. I was concerned waiting even another couple of weeks into fall would have been too late. Guess it just depends on your region. I'm in Pacific Northwest. I haven't noticed empty shelves or shortages but there is a lack of workers in all of the food and beverage hospitality industries here.

My sister went to the grocery store and when she came back she said everything is getting expensive. The last time she went out she could not find the brand of sugar we use. She saw spots os shelves bare.
 Quoting: LionsFaith7


I was at the grocery store a couple of nights ago. It was really messy with stuff not restocked. I think it was a labor thing more than shortages. Unloaded trucks and all that. As to what you said, YES. It seemed like many items I got have nearly doubled in price in the past year.

 Quoting: bootobin


Pet owners need to stock up on foods that cats, dogs and humans can eat - unless you want to eat dog and cat food when times get tough. Cats and dogs love tuna, salmon, chicken, etc, so if you're not a vegetarian, stock up on those foods and you can share with the babies if there's a pet food shortage. Further, as long as certain things (onions, garlic, chocolate) aren't it in, dogs can and do love to eat what you eat.
 Quoting: thinking...


I made the mistake of serving real tuna in a can to my two cats and they won't eat any other regular wet cat food.

I order small cases from Amazon to try and keep the cost down. It will also serve as backup if times get tough. It's getting tough to order, though, with limited inventory already.

I also heard on the car radio this afternoon that there are already shortages of toilet paper. Just the rumor will create a run on it.
 Quoting: Avenger1


You and the cat can both eat the tuna, which is my point about stocking up.

Shopping via Amazon is often more expensive because the sellers know you want the convenience. Two nights ago, Starkist tuna was .89 per can at the grocrey store I shop at. That's no more expensive per oz than wet cat food. Go to the grocery store, if possible, and skip Amazon.

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.
