You can start your holiday shopping now or risk some items you may want being out of stock!

Factories, Warehouses and trucks are all things that are going to be impacted on the holidays. Professor Mitch Millstein, who is a professor who teachers supply and chain and analytics at the University of Missouri St. Louis Business School, a year and a half into the pandemic.

Millstein said "The disruption that occurred last year is like a wave. We’re in the wave. The wave is going through the supply chain now. I was talking to a vice president of operations just the other day. He’s working in the warehouse because he’s got people out and his warehouse manager is packing orders. Consumers are showing us they are worried about inflation and the cost of goods going up, Folks moved earlier in the season because they were worried about stockouts. We’re going to see the exact same thing happen with the holiday."
