It's interesting that this has not (so far) turned into substantially empty shelves, or widespread inflation. Presumably it takes a while for the pipelines to empty.
I'm not sure what the distribution of this stuff is. If we're buying less junk that we can live without, it doesn't seem like a problem. If it's critical items like food, tech, transportation... that could hit like a ton of bricks. And if it took months for the pipelines to empty, it could take months for them to fill up again.
