Trigger Mike Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I read an article on cnbc.com that the cost of shipping is rising due to a shortage of shipping containers.

I doubt it takes long for the consumer to have to absorb that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
