Supply chain issues from an insider. | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77288913  United States08/02/2020 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We're in this predicament because demonrats insisted we suck the China tit for everything we needed. Quoting: ~Jazz~ You're correct. I hate to see this happen, but we need to get away from China. Things will be lean for a while, but looking at this positively, this is an amazing business opportunity. Find those items that are needed most and start a company in the US. The only trouble is that the SBA loans are almost frozen right now. That needs to change. Uncle Sam needs to start pumping money into the manufacturing sector immediately! It's not just loans - it truly is investing in the future of the United States and National Security. President Trump is already bring back existing large businesses, but we must start new manufacturing here as well. |

Been informed that we are going to have way worse shortages than we already have or had anticipated. Quoting: JimmyBones 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. That's what happens when you sell nothing but China Crap. |

User ID: 77013656 United States08/02/2020 02:05 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm already seeing this in grocery stores. Use to have mid isle, end isle stock. Now its removed to fill the empty stock. One guy I know is a big store manager. They're preparing for another huge shortage crisis and increased panic shopping when people realize. Another guy I've meet is on a school board, high up there. Pennsylvania will not open schools and gov Wolf will announce this between Aug 13-17. I agree with OP. Things are not getting better. |

User ID: 74148726 United States08/02/2020 02:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah. Talked to a vender in the Wal Mart aisle where foil and plastic ziplock bags are. He goes all over the east coast. One of those conversations where you both realize in a few minutes that the other is an aware doomer prepper. Anyway, he waved his arm around the shelves and said that by later in the fall it is going to be hell and to get everything I can now. This was imperishable items, but it'll be the same for food, which almost always is in packaging. Wish I had the cash for a boatload more of stuff, but glad for what we do have. Pray for undeserved mercy on us. |

So far it gets resolved by visiting numerous stores, then if that doesn’t work I put an order in and get parts a week later or so. Kinda hard to be an efficient contractor working this way. There ain’t no small business store gonna meet needs like this. |

Down to 3 colors left... Once that's gone, no more caulk for you! Shit isn't being restocked. I got one of the last socket extenders at mine the other day. Wasn't the length I wanted but worked. Almost 10 other empty spots for extenders. |

My teen points to a pair and says he wants his size to try on. The guy says, "well, uh... that's the only pair we have and it's a return." He repeats for other models. The same result... they have one pair and it's the display and whatever size it happens to be. Basically the display pairs were most of their inventory. So if sporting footwear/clothing stores are doing this. I can see what the OP is saying about "creating the illusion" of having inventory. |

User ID: 77082640 United States08/02/2020 02:10 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting post...my local Wal-Mart is getting a remodel...new floors, etc as I speak...things are on clearance in nearly every area of the store...when I asked why, I was told there is more stuff coming ...we will see. Can you elaborate on what exactly is short in your store ?? What supplies in particular ? Examples ?? Quoting: Halfbeeedgal 70049148 See above post. There are 2 major home improvement companies in the US. It applies to both. They don't even have bags of mini pine bark nuggets and don't know when they'll get any in. Electrical breakers were short in supply too, when I went. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77750782  Netherlands08/02/2020 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is what happens in a situation where companies work on a just in time delivery profit model. And then there is a pandemic. And buyers stop placing orders. Then a president who uses China, the main supplier of... everything, as a floormat. All of a sudden there is demand but everyone forgot to place orders on time. fearing tariffs, uncertainty. Im telling you it destroys trade. When trade stops it destroys lives. And this is just the beginning. If the USA does not start to re open asap and this trade war nonsense stops, then it is game over for the US economy. People do not seem to realise just how bad things are right now. And how bad it will get if we do not end this insanity asap. |

I looked back on my purchases and half of them were online. If shortages spread online, then Id start to worry With riots and looting going on, or looting just around the corner with talks to defund the police, why would physical stores want to be fully stocked? |

Carter and major chain retailers have also confirmed this with contractors in my area that are now having trouble completing/starting new construction jobs. Hopefully this won't be the case but as of right now that's what has been said. |
