We've been having trouble being able to order some items we need like consumables because many of them are out of stock. This has involved both outside store pick up and online ordering with shipping to our home.
As a result, recentlywe've been using some companies that we don't normally do business with to purchase things. And we are willing to pay for shipping because we are not going inside any stores due to COVID-19 risks.
One thing we have learned from this pandemic is that if you see something online and you need it, to go ahead and order it because it may not be there or may be out of stock when you go looking for it again.
We purchased this box of 96 toilet paper rolls for 50¢ each, but now the company website has been taken down and is no longer available. I don't know if these companies are fly by night companies or are just overwhelmed with how many orders they're getting.
We bought ten pounds of white popcorn from Blain's Farm & Fleet. At $1.99 for two pounds I considered this a good deal. I've been satisfied with the service we have received from them and will continue to use them in the future as a result.
We ordered some sugar from Fleet Farm but when it came several of the bags had broken open during shipment. They made good on them though and replaced those bags.
However, they are not even listing sugar on their website at the time of this post and from what I can tell they've stopped offering to ship any of their food items.
So, I called them and was told they were overwhelmed with online ordering of consumables and removed the option to ship those items from their website.
They are working on this and hope to offer them for shipment again soon. I will order from them in the future because I thought their shipping was very reasonable.
Also in the good news department, several stores have decided to reopen their online stores. The Dollar Tree has reopened their online ordering and shipping. And Hurst beans has said they are going to reopen their online store soon, which is great news!
