It’s the same at my company - they bought 6+ months of supplies a year ago, now there are worldwide shortages of plastics, and it’s unclear when that will end.

There are worldwide shortages of just about everything.
I buy commodity type goods for work, just about everything we purchase has the longest lead times I have seen in 28 years of work. On top of that, double-digit price increases.

Yeah,

Lead times on some tech gear is still incredible.

Suspect that we are goign to see major shortages of all kinds of stuff for lack of packaging materials as well by summer.

Keep those pantries and freezers full folks, gonna get interesting.
