the one advantage of this is that our overfilled model harbours are now almost realistic!
So, once again today our new suite of kitchen appliances (ordered May 8) did not arrive from the big-box home improvement store from which they were purchased... Apparently the shortage of transoceanic shipping capacity is real. Speaking recently to my sister-in-law, the CFO of a major hotel chain's renovation unit, it's gotten so bad that the big-box store in question has now bought its *own* container ship to try to make a dent in it's backlog of merchandise sitting on wharfs in China and Korea. I wonder if they'll paint the business name in big letters on the hull side... it would make an interesting addition to a 1/1250 fleet!
