Is there an Appliance shortage in Canada?
Home depot deliveries are backed up almost 2 months from now ? Seems like a long time to get a fridge and stove....

Lol, it’s not just appliances that have been affected by Covid ... it’s everything.
Plenty of threads here on RFD ... regarding shipping & restocking delays
And as most things we Cdns buy ... originate outside of Canada ... either with Foreign Manufacturers or Cos here that are from somewheres else (like Home Depot, Lowe’s etc ) then waits for restocking are taking longer than average
And ... as Covid becomes an even greater concern Stateside ... I don’t think it’s gonna get better anytime soon
I predict, It’s gonna get worse in the months to come from anything coming in from the USA
BTW ... 2 months lead time for Appliances is not outrageous even during NON Covid Times (norm tends to run 2 to 8 weeks). Cuz rarely does a store have any stock on hand ... it’s all ordered in on an as needed basis.
Thing is though ... 2 months is just an estimate
Be prepared for possible delays ... and waiting a lot longer than that ... esp now during Covid

FYI ... a few thingsnightlite wrote: ↑ I was just about to post a thread about this because our refrigerator broke in early July and getting a new one has been a nightmare. We've been without a fridge for over a month now. Our order with CAS has been pushed back so many times, we cancelled it because they admitted they had no idea when it could come.
I am checking dates for shipments for different brands of refrigerators from major retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's, Leon's etc) and estimated delivery dates are Oct, Nov, etc.
If anyone has any great suggestions on where to find something that's actually in stock, please do comment. At this point we may get a small tide me over fridge because we don't want to spend thousands on a model that we don't want just because of this backlog. I am hoping Costco has some inventory left.
