#837 - Due to Supply-Chain Problems Retailers Urge Consumers to Shop Earlier Than Black Friday

Retailers and logistics experts have warned that supply-chain problems will make certain items more expensive or difficult to obtain this holiday season. They're urging people to start shopping early, well before Black Friday, if they want to ensure they have presents — and a tree to put them under. 

"Supply-chain disruptions have really been impacting the retail industry since the start of the pandemic," Katherine Cullen, National Retail Federation's senior director of industry and consumer insights, told Insider. 

The problems have been piling up for over a year and a half, compounding one another. "There are many links, and if a link is broken, then the stuff doesn't move," said Rosemary Coates, president of Blue Silk Consulting and a global trade expert. She calls it a supply-chain reaction.
