>> Lumber costs are sky high.
Can confirm. Was going to do a little DIY job at home and went to go price out some wood and dry wall. Just about had a heart attack when I saw 2x4's were now $6 a pop!!
I know this has been a double edge sword since demand is sky high but a lot of the supply side suppliers are relying on China and they've all but stopped shipping a LOT of stuff from a myriad of regions. So yeah, demand is high but I've also heard the supply side issues with China are compounding the issue.
Are you seeing/having any issues on the supply side yet?
- dhruvkar 6y agoWe import mostly from Brazil and India so can't say much about China. Supply side issues are mostly logistical in nature: - low low low supply of containers - lower than normal vessels on the water - getting container bookings is 3-4-5 weeks out. - factory workers testing COVID positive = random shutdowns, therefore random delays
