Several people in my circle already had sufficient jars for their crop, but had extreme difficulty finding new lids, as they are not reusable due to the heat-activated sealant on the jar interface. But then again, most of the North Anerican supply chain has ground to a crawl (30 week delays for a home appliance, yay)

what home appliance has a 30 week delay?

  Shopping for a dishwasher in September, the earliest availably date for the model I wanted was December 26 + an estimated 1 month backlog for delivery. Many others were delayed until March 2021. I found another model that was supposedly available now, but 1 week before delivery in October my order was bumped out to 2021. This happened two more times. Luckily I don't have very particular needs in a dishwasher and I have a trailer. Somebody at the big box hardware store near me canceled their order and because I'm constantly looking, I was able to pick one up just this very morning. When I picked it up, another customer was trying to buy it. If you're able to be flexible, then you can probably get something in less than 6 months. A buddy of mine has a less-commonly sized space for their fridge which he cannot change w/o tearing apart the kitchen and the soonest he can get a replacement is February. They are living out of a couple dorm-room refrigerators until then.

    I can understand if you want a particular modal there can be a delay. A quick look at the big box retailers near me show variety of refrigerators in different sizes are available today.

  A fridge. Contacted the local appliance store and they told me about an almost 30-week delay for a customer. Thankfully, the delay benefited me. The original customer found a fridge somewhere else, so I got the one they had ordered.
