Crnr2Crnr Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 How much manufacturing have we brought back home since the great toilet paper shortage of 2020? Seems to me we're still waiting on shiploads of product from around the world to get here to assemble 'things' or put them on the shelves. Am I wrong here? Have we learned anything? Xi is laughing at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xi is laughing at us. Company I work for is a distributor for aftermarket parts, we switched to a different line if parts in April due to shortages, Old parts company was running around a 60% fill rate and back orders were 4-6 weeks out, new company has 87% made in America, a 95% fill rate, and back orders filled in about 48 hours..So yeah it was a very good move.. FYI, there was never a TP shortage, it was just sitting in warehouses, there was a hauler shortage, TP takes up a lot of space in a trailer.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but there was a shortage in Australia that caused people to start to hoard TP here. Just another one of the stupid things that coronavirus caused.
