Doing a kitchen reno and ordered all new appliances the last week of December. Everything except the stove is Bosch. The stove is GE. All the Bosch stuff is in. The stove won't be in till April !!

I WILL NOT buy appliances from a "big box" store. The selection is limited to only a few brands and they push Samsung and LG which have ZERO spare parts availability. Their salespeople are not very knowledgeable and just about any "appliance store" will match the big box pricing.

I'm doing this reno and with covid restrictions getting materials can be a chore. If I order from a big box store There is a minimum four hour wait before I can pick up. Then I have to sit in queue in the parking lot till they call me up to the pickup area. There are no lengthy delays with the smaller retailers. Often I can pick up as soon as I can get there.
