A parts guy at A Toyota dealer told me the company can’t get enough of the the foam it needs for seats. Same with furniture makers.

A salesman told him the stuff they supplied in spray cans was held up because spray cans were in short supply. One of the products from the company was undercoating.

Different products required different seal within the cans. That was an issue too.

What else is in short supply that’s not common knowledge?

Some high end large Zebra printers are several weeks behind in back order.

Dell and laptops has been tough. Of course people in the field have had a bought of breaking their laptops and a few died due to age.

I have been waiting on parts for a Stihl chainsaw and an Echo string trimmer for 3 months.

Stihl chainsaw, trimmers and other small equipment are mostly out of stock at their dealers. Only the bigger volume dealers are getting supplied. The smaller volume dealers are SOL.

The local Massey Ferguson tractor dealer has about two tractors on the lot. I assume this may have to do with the worldwide chip shortage to.
