Shipping and Supply Chain Delays.
The holidays of 2021 is on their way. That wonderous fall season full of what we predict will be a slew unapologetic sweet tooth's running around ready to start reeling in copious amounts of candy, pumpkin pies and the almost endless supply of Oktoberfest beers. Probably dressed up as homemade Bernie Sanders inauguration and Avenger costumes.
Yet, before we can even start to enjoy these delicious and ritualistic transgressions. We are up against a somewhat pandemic after shock of a quagmire.
Large companies like Fedex are reporting to have sever labor shortages. Auto manufacture General Motors and Ford Motors are slowing auto production caused by global ship shortage. The PMA ( Pacific Maritime Association ) has reported a growing container shortage and port congestion all to create the global bottleneck of todays supply chain industry. Its official the pandemic disruption of 2019- 2020 has caught up with the supply chain and things are not looking good. Nearly a quarter (24%) of Americans do their holiday shopping in late November/early December around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to YouGov consumer data going back to 2015.
Understanding this and the climate we are in now I for one would URGE you to start your online shopping early as Today!! Shipping times have gone from 30 - 40 days across the globe to 55 - 71 days with out stopping for bagels and coffee along the way.
