i dont have many shortages. When things started to go backwards i was ordering more. I have most of what my customers in ohio and i need. Sounds like your dealers dropped the ball.
Manufacturing never stopped, but it might have gotten slow. Problem is 90% comes from over seas so there's the whole California b.s. Regulations that are stopping the trucks from coming into the state and hauling out containers. Im buying containers of glass from europe at an 8 month advance and plastic jugs 13-18 months out. Its very trying times but i pray the worst is almost behind us!!!!!
