US Market Supply Updates
Due to many variables, the supply from our US vendors is
often affected. Any known issues will be posted here.
The industry is still recovering from Shutdown 2020, so
at this time we are seeing a shortage of almost everything, but barrels in
particular in are still almost impossible to get.
We are seeing more availability overall, but due to the
current political climate in the US, the demand is even higher so lead times
are still longer than we’re used to for a lot of things. In some cases, it is
still 6-8 weeks or longer before the vendor can get our order out, and then it
may only be a partial shipment.
This obviously causes a logistical Cluster Funk for us,
and we understand that for our Canadian customers this adds a new level of
frustration. It means that the items you ordered with the expectation of having
them on the next import will possibly not make it to us in AZ in time to make
that truck…or maybe only some of what you ordered. We feel your pain and
appreciate your loyalty and patience.
In summary, supply is slowing coming back, so hopefully
the next update here will be a positive one.
