The past 2-3 weeks at the office is getting worse everyday.
As a supplier of essential materials to a vast array of business and local government offices - we are turning down orders everyday due to no supply.
There are materials that are now extinct. Shipping containers from Europe... none. 1 year ago a shipping container sent from Europe to the United States cost about $2000. Today? - Make that between $9000 - $12000. So European manufacturers are simply not shipping here. China? Haha... yeah... no.
The global supply chain crises is just now beginning to see the first layoffs and plant closings. And that... has just begun.
Today I learned one of our suppliers is down to one sales person... from 12. They have little to sell. There warehouse is near empty.
Today I told a customer needing 80 cartons of copy paper...nope... I can only get you 12 until December. And what I can get you then.. could be less than that.
Today someone needed 3200 binding coils... on back order will take 2 -3 weeks, and cannot get that many even then. Maybe 1000.
By January there will be a Tsunami of layoffs and closures. Manufacturers can't get materials to produce product...that store XYZ can't sell. You think missing items is a problem now??? You haven't seen a thing Inflationary prices??? Oh it is going to get much worse.
