Re: Little PO'D right now.

I imagine most all suppliers are experiencing the same thing right now. Virus affecting shipping deliveries? Yeah to some extent. What I find more and more are vendors keeping less inventory on hand than they used to. Even the local stores don't stock what they used to "but we can have it tomorrow".
The specialty parts vendors all know once you have ordered and paid in advance for your purchase they already have your money so you aren't likely to cancel. I am waiting on one part from Classic Parts from an order I placed weeks ago. Of course it was the main item I needed out of all the parts ordered at the time. I asked for an estimated time of availability and got no response. More of the same...
Which brings up another question. Just how much of our parts are produced over seas? Are there any reproduction parts actually made in the USA any more? I don't see "Proudly made in the USA" banner in adds much.
