In addition, there are reports of traffic through the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal currenty being reduced for various reasons. And the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore harbor was destroyed recently. Does anyone know if all this is causing supply-chain delays for the type of goodies we are interested in?

I received a message from my shipper earlier today telling me that shipping costs for material coming from Asia have gone up sharply again. This is the 3rd such email from them in two week's time.

This Shiit is going to continue for a while.
