Is anyone else trying to order a home appliance having difficulty placing an order ?

My thirteen year old refrigerator is on its last legs. I started looking for a replacement September 18th. Yesterday October 17th I found, on-line at my preferred retailer, a new refrigerator. It is on order !

Nobody but nobody had any in stock. I went to the local “Big Box” hardware store, waiting for my turn, overheard the salesperson talking to a lady that looking for a replacement (there were eighteen or twenty display frigs), he only had a couple (one in stock at her price point) and two of a high dollar Chinese made ones.

Delivery is estimated November 25th.
