How is your holiday shopping going? Although it's too early to panic, now is the time to buy stuff if you want it delivered in time for the holidays. It's possible that you have noticed how when you try to order something online it is either unavailable or won't ship for several weeks or months. The global supply chain has been a bit shaky lately due to a mix of logistical problems and resource shortages as well as manufacturing woes. It's a strange time to buy things and even more bizarre time to ship them.
