Stores in the Kansas City area are still feeling the pinch of the pandemic. Some businesses are rushing, others are struggling to get shipments on time.
Snowboards are back in stock at Flatlanders Ski & Snowboard in Mission, Kansas.
“This has been the worst year since shipping out,” said Aileen Chellis, owner of Flatlanders Ski & Snowboard.
A shipment of 20 boxes arrived three months late. Chellis said another 30 boxes are still missing.
“We don’t know where they are. The companies don’t know where they are either. It’s very strange,” she said.
Shipping challenges can mean price increases for everyone.
“Because I know they are changing some of their prices to make up for lost time,” said Ian Schutt, ski technician at Flatlanders Ski & Snowboard.
The new boards come just in time for customers like skier Nick Redwine. He and his father are preparing for their Colorado trip.
Redwine said: “I’m glad they got it because we wouldn’t continue the trip if we couldn’t get anything.
“You can’t sell what you don’t have,” says Chellis.
She says that after 43 years in business, this is one of the hardest.
“The sock company couldn’t find the wool, so no socks were brought in,” says Chellis.
She said she receives products from Canada, Europe, England and Scotland.
“Let’s hope that the companies can support us after the new year because a lot of them are also short of products,” says Chellis.
The delay is the result of several problems caused by the pandemic.
It is also worth noting that the warm weather has pushed the season back. Many resorts are getting fresh snow, so delays don’t bother most customers.
