This video is a good explanation of the supply chain and freight market issues for anyone who wants to spend 15 minutes learning about it:

i don't know... one of my customers was talking with his bauer rep and the cost of shipping is insane. a container that cost $3k is now $15k-$20k.

the guy who runs one of my bands is a 'higher up' at a local flooring company. they are now seeing bills for $30k to get a container to north america.

but as mentioned in the original post - supply for lots of stuff is a huge issue already. i see it often in my industry.... shirts, caps, jackets, track suits, hoodies, bags, etc - all very limited stock.
