Parts On Back Order
I've been trying to get quite a bit of parts online lately. I've been using different vendors. It seems that everything that I order contains a piece or pieces that are on back order. It didn't used to be that way. I'm not going to name names but they are popular Corvette parts suppliers.
I'm used to having things all together when starting a job. Some suppliers get it to you faster than others. I'm delayed now for a speedometer calibration for two months. This is just an example of some of my situations.
I felt like venting before I destroy something!

Im by no means trying to implicate any of the vendors here.....Ive noticed that many of the parts Ive ordered from different suppliers often come in very similar marked boxes. There really arent that many manufacturers either. (Just my .02 conspiracy theory)

I work for a manufacturing company and we make some Corvette products. This year has been difficult with imported components. I have had more back orders then ever before. Part of the problem was a very large shipping company went bankrupt so close to 10% of the ships that are normally for transport are docked so that has created delays in moving product in our case and it would make sense that other companies would suffer the same effects.
