I am in manufacturing but not hifi. I have been watching things get worse since the beginning of the pandemic. Our normal supplier leads times have gone from 30 days 9 months on some materials. The costs for shipping containers have increased 500%. At the same time our customers are having great sales numbers and our factories are fully booked through to the fall of 2022. It is insane.
I don't expect things to get better for the supply chain and shipping costs until the end of 2022 at the earliest
