Delays in shipment of your hardware - here is probable why?

[Eauson]

The cost of shipping containers has increased from £1500 to £10,000, so may make some items more expensive (unless businesses want to take a loss ) & contribute to delays

And where are you getting those figures exactly lol.
I have a ton of stuff from Nvidia cards to RME interfaces on order, all are delayed because of Corina Virus, no mattr how much China pretends they have no issue, their infrastructure is decimated right now.

I’m just making it up because I’m bored
Or
From reports of businesses ?

No kidding. Even buying used gear on eBay or anyplace else online, shipping times are
longer than they were pre-pandemic. All of the shipping carriers are inundated with higher volumes, as more people are shopping online due to COVID, ...AND....they are all shorthanded....again due to COVID.
