More than the lockdowns, this is the most frustrating aspect for me.. Just about everything is backordered.

One order I have waiting for "5-10 day" backorder is going on 2-1/2 months! Lots of things I look at are "out of stock."

I suspect that the factories in China are still not back in full production, despite what the government there says.

I waited a year for a freezer.....

And 17 to get back in after I got out.

My refrigerator broke just in time last year. The new one took less than a month to come in. Just after it showed up, people were bubbleguming about 3 to 6 month wait times. I used a dorm fridge for a month. I'd have bought a used one and drug it home with a trailer and a winch if I had to wait any longer than that.
