Anyone else notice Amazon is running out of a lot lately?

It is frustrating. My order of the AmazonBasics extension cord is in limbo because it is unavailable. Now this is also happening with multiple other extension cords I might want. And I was looking at getting a second pair of headphones, and that became unavailable. Anyway, have no money now
so have to wait anyway. But sure seems quite the horde at Amazon lately.

2. Yes, I'm seeing it in local stores of all kinds. Shelves are bare.

Sorry to hear!

3. Thanks for the article

That could definitely be a big reason. I didn’t even see shortages like this at Christmas. Even one of my deliveries got delayed.

7. I don't go anywhere but grocery store

Went a few days ago & all was ok for here (shelves are normally half-bare), but I did notice Aldi is still breaking apart large packages of toilet paper & selling the 6-packs for much higher price.

I sure hope things get back to normalish soon!

4. Printer cartridges, too.

The previous time I bought printer cartridges it was $53. Now it is $71 and even Costco and Walmart stopped carrying it. I have to go to Office Depot to get it. I don't want to have to buy a new printer when the old one works perfectly.

8. Ty for heads up!

I'll get one if I can.

5. Home Depot too (shortages)...if you look at the upper shelves at the local HDepot, you'll

notice that the shelves are bare or empty too.

9. Yikes!

Ty for the heads up!

I've not been able to find curcuit breakers. I try to keep extras on hand because the power delivery here is so unstable every now & then one fries. But it is also "normal" for this area to not be able to find things in stores, sadly.

I hope you were able to get what you needed!

10. Problems will be made worse by upcoming Chinese New Year break.

Even in normal times, back when I was buying a lot of e-cig parts, that was an annual ordeal so I had to order in November to insure I had enough on hand heading into late winter.

Hunker down, folks and good luck with your supplies.......

11. I got a 24 pack of AAA batteries before 10am that I ordered the previous evening

How is that even possible?
