During the Plan-Demic I did a lot of shopping on-line for everyday things. Literally NO problems getting what I needed and things were delivered within days.

Now that I’m down to ordering maybe a few books or some yarn on-line, things are taking a week or more to arrive, or just not showing up at all and I have to go track them down.

So, just in my small experience, supply & delivery chains ARE breaking down, which was to be expected with the shipping container crisis. And the things I’m ordering are from right here in the USA, so I’m not exactly sure WHAT is up, though maybe a lack of semi-truck drivers and FedEx and UPS drivers?

I have also noticed that FedEx and UPS are re-routing things through the USPS and some things are delivered by my Mailman, now.

Again, all of this is anecdotal from my neck of the woods.

We get orders in a few days, usually a day earlier than the estimate given by Amazon (we’re in Colorado).
