Warehouses are overflowing with packages, exacerbating problems for an already overwhelmed supply chain. The backlog plus overwhelming demand is forcing warehouse operators to overhaul how they get packages to your doorstep on time.

Never mess with Amazon, they will slow walk your deliveries.
So then we have to HACK THEM
not mine, unless it’s coming from china, but DHL had orders here in under 2 weeks.
FedEx is a joke here in California if it ends up in Tracy ca it’s lost/delays/no updating for days !!
Lol I noticed that too! Always gets stuck in Tracy.
Let’s be honest, FedEx slow regardless!
Not much impact on the east coast, but that’s because it’s not California. Keep voting against your best interest 😉
You think we voted for the guy who runs USPS? The dude that voted him in was Trump. Blame your god for the problems he’s still causing. Highly doubt CA is the only state with this problem too.
@shadows221 USPS, Trump 😂
Has Fauci given Santa Claus his booster shot yet??
cant you tell ? deliveries are way slow this year ,half the elves are home sick doing the shakes or heart problems i heard a couple had their legs amputated and one is stuck to the medal on his frig, only the unvaxxed seem to be on their feet ,so be nice you will get your christmas presents
How tf is Fauci relevant to mail?
I guess you’re one of those 80 year old women who obsess over Fauci.
Fauci haus bro
Clearly the wizard hasn’t given you a brain yet .
Shout out to George Floyd on 574 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals! .
Ohk
I got my stuff from Amazon fast and easy. Go Prime!
@Gerald Greaux, Jr. Quit the “normal” job and make more money doing higher paid work, what’s your time worth? YOU set your value, don’t let anyone else.
@Pohaku Mana I hear you. I did just raise my prices on 3 story paint jobs for rental turn overs. I’m just trying not to be greedy since I enjoy painting n pressure washing when I got my reggae music on it doesnt really feel like work. I actually enjoy what I do and I try to be fair, but I do believe 2k in 3.5 days is reasonable. But I also believe my time, experience n dedication to quality is worth a little more. But the work keeps flowing without an ask for a bid price frpm the property rental company because word gets around and they already know my dedication so my number keeps getting passed around. The day job is mainly for winter when turn overs slow down because renters dont really move around the holidays. Plus I’m not desperate for the funds. But I do hear you. I only worry about my 300 gallon reef tank, don’t drink and don’t go anywhere. I don’t buy bs expensive clothing and I dont need to impress anyone. But I hear you though.
@Gerald Greaux, Jr. I only worry about my fish when it doesn’t rain. But as i live in a rain forest I’m not too worried. My koi ponds are filling this week Pleny rain…
I’m a hermit.
I’m retired..
I only make things for myself these days.
However I did build a house for my neighbor. One of my YT subscribers from when I used to do videos on YT.
I live in Hawaii, I’ve had guests from Kansas, Seattle, Australia and my neighbor from Odessa just moved over because she saw … I live in paradise. I don’t have any public videos anymore.
Took a few dozen subscribers to a chain email, went old school.
@Pohaku Mana I want a koi pond but have not gotten to it yet. Still changing up my design on exactly where I want it, in back yard or start in back n flow to front from side yard. I’m originally from the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean but live in the states. I like Hawaii but they don’t allow you to have corals (legally) or I would have sold my house and moved there but I’m not ready to give up 6k in corals just yet after getting them to grow out. I may retire back in the Virgin Islands so I can island hop when bored.
@Gerald Greaux, Jr. Good thing I wasn’t into corals. I breed Great Danes, for unusual colors and patterns.
My water collects off the roof into tanks and ponds by the lani. The overflow from the tanks go through drains that feed the waterfall, that flows into the spawning pond, which overflows in to the BIG koi pond, which over flows into the future eating shellfish pond, before it empties and collects in the reservoir.
Elfs
What did you expect?
Bidens a DISASTER…😶
Has nothing to do with Biden or Trump for that matter. It has everything to do with the current guy running USPS. He’s slowed everything down, and it’s only got more slow the longer he stays there. If slowing everything down , for saving money I don’t think he thought outside he box enough to run the place. Anyone who runs a place like that should be creative. He’s just showing how much he doesn’t care for his customers or his employees. Anyone who does that is trapped in the stupid box, not thinking outside of it.
The supply chain consists mostly of private enterprises. I’m trying to understand why those who want less government regulations and the government to get out of the way start complaining about the supply chain issues as soon as Joe Biden got elected.
Same issues different year!
That’s funny because I ordered stuff on Amazon last week and it arrived today. I don’t know WTF MSM TV “news” keep pushing this supply chain narrative? BS!
And I live on an island.
FedEx stole Raman Noodles from me
Wait the slaves are NOT toiling away? But why wage stagnation? Abusive bosses? Lossy hours? Over worked? No wonder packages end up a a ditch nationwide. Seriously
A person could always get another job if they feel that badly about their job. The problem is lazy employees
WW3 in 2022 bet
Civil War if that!
I’m still waiting for my PKG send out on Nov 24 still loss in transit
Oh well. Who cares? So sad. Too bad. Rich people need to get off their duffs and shop at a store this year.
So only Rich people buy online? What about ppl that work 13 hour days with only one day off? Are we not allowed to shop online 🙄 are we just “on our duffs”….shut up
@Ooga Booga Shooga too expensive for me to shop online. If you work 13 hours you ain’t poor my friend. Sounds like overtime hours to me. I ain’t shutting up because you can’t take a joke. Go sit and spin.
@Ooga Booga Shooga no one feels sorry for you because you are choosing to work insane hours by the way. That’s your choice. You made it. Live with the consequences and stop crying about it.
the reason why we have a clogged supply chain is because of a worker shortage. whitch is caused by ridiculously high unemployment benefits that outpace a minimum wage job in payments and overreaching vaccine/mask mandates .
now before all of you come at me for the last part i am NOT anti vaccine
i am on the other hand ANTI VACCINATION MANDATE there is a difference.
I still waiting mine UPS 15 days pasted still not delivery mine yet😫😫😫
I’m just not shopping right now.
You are right.
*Amazon is destroying the Amazon*
*_Every Amazon order is a tree_*
OHHHHH! I SEE.
SO, now it’s “overflowing warehouses” that are causing problems.
Last time, it sure looked like it was because da Gubmint wasn’t letting anyone drive truck in or out or across of certain state lines.
Oh, yeah… Then there was that thing a while back, about the lack of raw materials…
And before that, it was because everyone was purportedly dying in the streets…
LOOK HERE, FELLOW MORONS-
If only seeing the “Top 1%” magically get 40 % more wealthy in only 2 years doesn’t tell ya something is seriously wrong, then something’s seriously wrong.
Anyone with 2 brain cells left to rub together PLEASE go see “Gematria Effect News 24” here on the Toob.
So you’re telling me I’m going to get my package in January Dear God
Thank you to the many people working overtime to get these packages to the homes of people. I am so glad that I bought early and didn’t have to wait.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
How about this calling of the leaders of both houses to the white house. I’d say would you like me to start signing more executive orders if your not going to work on b b b. Your not working for the american people. I’d say im about bringing about change. You all know this and the American people have a agenda too which is why your sent here. Do you plan to work together. I can sign so many executive orders. Here is one of which I have many first would be that of student debt boom done all students form the US government forgiven signed. Anyone want to work together for the American people yet? Okay next day. Called up some question asked. Still haven’t worked nor passed BBB
Okay next executive order the tax cuts for the rich as resended it is now what it used to be. Want to work for the American people yet and earn your pay? Fine. Next day called in again wanting to work for the American people yet? Next executive order.. Yep this could go on for a very long time. Dont wish to do immigration reform boom executive or done fixed and this would go on and on and on. Congress would start working or i would do the work they won’t do and it would get done….how about a executive order which says all drug pricing must be negotiated for. Boom done. Oh I have so many.. Anyone wish to work for the American people yet? Sure they would call me king but I’d keep signing executive orders till they started working for a change.. They wouldntike it when I signed a executive order outlawing lobbyists.
Glad you will never be president lol. We have checks and balances in place in government to keep that type of dictatorship out
@Travis Goes There right yes true but things would be getting dine unlike how it has been going. Thus us not how the framers if them constitution invidioned how your nation would be being run that is for sure…
@Travis Goes There yeah just like Reagan I’d sign the dreamers into citizenship. He signed in with a signature well over three million. I wonder how many more million I’d sign in tomorrow. Sure you think they have been following the US constitution give me a break. Trump and they Republican s sure. Weren’t.
If the warehouses are packed then the demand isnt high. If the demand was that high then the warehouses wouldnt be backed up.
Reallly that’s some stellar analysis…. how about if there is a labor shortage in the warehouse industry.. or in the delivery/shipping driver industry…..
@X X there has to be a demand to move the stock out of the warehouse, if nobody orders it, the product will stay right where it is. If there was an issue of rotating products out, the warehouse would cross-dock the excess receiving and send it right back. Warehouses are cutting hours back right now because the orders aren’t coming in
I know I’ll stop ordering off line
Maybe FedEx think ahead before not now
I am so glad that i live in Europe, i can order something today and a it is there tomorrow.
Get rid of Louis DeJoy!!
Thank you for covering this.
This is just an excuse for poor service. FedEx lost a simple package and won’t admit they clearly lost it after pickup. You are better off traveling to deliver packages yourself.
Urban is white slang for black most wearhouse workers are over worked paid poor and are black
More bs stories about supply chain shortages
DEMOCRATS AMERICA. Firing people…. Giving lazy americans free cash rather than a living wage… ALL TALK NO ACTION IN CONGRESS… AT LEAST TRUMP DELIVERED FOR HIS WALLSTREET BUDDIES, DEMOCRATS CANT DELIVER ANYTHING……..!
Take off the suit and tie Mr.Executive. Don’t worry, your manicured nails will survive some manual labor.
California and Democrats are ruining America
I learned NEVER TO BUY STUFF ONLINE THIS CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAYS. LOL
OCTOBER OR THE 1ST WEEK OF NOVEMBER IS THE MY DEADLINE. ANYTHING ELSE INSTORE ONLY.
Wow, in past years warehouses were a place the rich held land waiting for it’s value to rise. In the interum on paper show a loss lowering their tax rates. Now storage facilities are money makers, go figure.
His nose is ridiculous
It’s a lie.. warehouses are having trouble getting orders right now, last peak season we saw 15k orders a day.. now it’s rough 6k right before xmas..XMAS!.. August slammed is harder than November and December combined.. edit she is not standing in a “packed” warehouse.. there is so much visible space in the racking to put pallets
