We ship containers from Europe to the US and the only issue we have is we inquire about a container and the shipper gives us date options, vessels, etc and if you don't book/reserve it almost immediately, you'll lose it and end up with a later sailing. The most recent container took less than (4) weeks door-to-door. On the US side, there's two issues - 1) short supply of drivers who deliver the containers from the port to our location and 2) the rail yards only allow 24 hour storage once they arrive at the yard. A year ago, you'd have 3-5 days.ships from all over the world and this is currently a major issue. Expect it to last for a couple years as the world catches up with production after covid.
Yup, the shelves on all 6 local WMs are barren of oil. I'd say on average about 80% empty.
I suspect I know where it went though.... (evil laugh)....

You know I hadn't really noticed. Its times like this that those of us that have a stash shrug our shoulders and laugh!Is it just me or has anyone noticed that some oils that were always in stock are now hit or miss. I stopped by my local Walmarkts this weekend and the shelves were less that half stocked. Several weights and brands completely out of stock. I will say that this particular store is known for poor customer service and not keeping their shelves stocked.
I have a sizable stash as well but was browsing for any good deals and noticed some bare shelves.You know I hadn't really noticed. Its times like this that those of us that have a stash shrug our shoulders and laugh!
The "ALL COSTCO is gaining more control of part of the process " sounds like a big deal to me. As your whole paragraph states is you really are at the mercy of the shipper and you are. More so a chain like Cosco which can not have interruptions in their supply chain.We ship containers from Europe to the US and the only issue we have is we inquire about a container and the shipper gives us date options, vessels, etc and if you don't book/reserve it almost immediately, you'll lose it and end up with a later sailing.

All COSTCO is doing is gaining more control of part of the process. They can still have the same issue many have (though this seems to mostly be an issue on the west coast) and that is the same # 1 I mention above. The linked article refers to this as well.
