I work in commercial construction. Some of the delays in stupid stuff like light fixtures is crazy. I have read that the lack of inventory will ease up by November/December, but I doubt we will see much of any reduction in prices.
We ordered our light fixtures 2 months ago, and were told 1-2 weeks. Not only do we still not have them, they haven't even made it to the US warehouse. We were just told now the arrival date is 9/7, which means we won't likely have them for 1-2 weeks after that.
Just checked again on the stove/fridge we ordered, no ETA. Flooring is supposed to be 9/1, but that's not going to happen, I don't think.
Furniture, we ordered 7/4, and were told 6 weeks. On Thursday, they called and said "sometime in October."
