Supply chain issues from an insider.
Employed by Major Home Improvement retailer. Been informed that we are going to have way worse shortages than we already have or had anticipated.

The company is scrambling to conduct sweeping remodels of the "floor" to help offset the look of empty shelves and drop zones.

We received reporting that showed us our "get healthy" dates on stock that we ran out of and they came and went and we are still out of important items and material.

In fact over the next couple months you will be seeing major remodels in store. You'll know it when you see it. It's to maintain planogram integrity while keeping the stores "looking full" and investors happy.

This is only the beginning so it will most assuredly impact food and other essential items.

Get bulked out.

We're in this predicament because demonrats insisted we suck the China tit for everything we needed.

I believe OP and GL. I warned that a major retailer has orders up to October and they canceled Black Friday Thanksgiving for “COVID family”. It’s due to the delay in production and overseas shipments. I was told I was fear mongering.

Yep. I see reporting for many locations and the inventory they hold at any given point during the year and the previous years.

EVERY location is holding up to a million or more less dollars worth of inventory than even last year... and that's cost not retail. Huge.

I work for a small General Contractor. Offices in VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL. We do about $50M in business a year.

We have experienced no delays in materials and have heard of no shortages either currently happening or happening in the future.

My wife and I went shopping in a My Home department store yesterday and I was shocked at how many empty shelves there were. I would say about one third of the store was mostly empty.

I'm not comfortable giving company or location.

Treated lumber, cleaning and paper products, OSB, fasteners, romex wire, ceiling fans, etc. and the list goes on. All of these are nearly out at the suppliers.

Buyers are frantically looking to find other vendors to purchase product but not having a ton of luck because other retailers are doing the same.

Lucky for you. Most of the locations in this company do over 50 million per year. Multiplied by over 2k stores so it's apples to oranges.

See above post.

There are 2 major home improvement companies in the US. It applies to both.

If it's Home Depot I hope they go down and collapse. They won't stop having their lazy retarded employees improprerly dispose of the RoundUp and weed killers - they just throw it in the trash where it will leak into the runoff and the EPA has a deal with them to allow it, in every store in every city.

Fuck Home Depot. Fuck its retarded employees that are overworked by their unhealthy overweight staff. I hope you and your families all get generational cancer from your glorified and mandated retardation.

Enjoy the Lymphoma.

You people better fucking listen.
