@MoJoVThe delivery date on my original invoice was Oct. 25th, then it got pushed to Nov. something, then Dec. & so on. My salesman (I bought it from a locally owned appliance co.) was great about keeping me informed & calling KitchenAid corporate & the KA regional reps to find out when it would be here.
I read an article awhile back that said during the height of the pandemic back in Spring/Summer of last year there was a 6 week period where there was zero steel being manufactured anywhere in Asia & that put everything down the supply chain behind the eight-ball.
ETA: I thought my 19 year old Maytag dryer was dying & had visions of it taking months to get a new one, so I went shopping (same local appliance co & salesman as the KA appliances) & bought a new GE top loader washer & matching gas dryer set & they actually had both in stock in their warehouse. I bought them on 5/30/21 & they were delivered on 6/7/21 so not everything is backed up!
