Real difficulties or opportunity to raise prices? Some retailers are reporting their supply status and the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic on their stock … and prices in real time. According to retailers, the situation does not seem to be the same everywhere…

According to this internet page posted by digitec, the coronavirus epidemic is interrupting global supply chains. Manufacturers are already reporting delivery difficulties, delays and rising prices. In the process, the prestigious Migros subsidiary is constantly updating the situation.

Worsening of the situation

“Until recently, there were still enough products available in European warehouses despite the coronavirus epidemic. Thanks to direct orders placed in advance in the Far East, we were still able to fill our warehouses on time, “said the retailer.

“Today, the situation is getting worse: more and more manufacturers and suppliers are reporting that the buffer quantities are gradually running out. This results in delivery difficulties, delays and higher prices, “according to an update released Tuesday.

Devolo, Ubiquiti, Netgear …

The online sales site points out that some manufacturers warn of future or existing delivery difficulties. He cites in particular some Devolo connected products, price increases at TP-Link, delivery delays at Ubiquiti and possible future problems with Netgear. Not to mention the iPhone or delays at Xiaomi, etc.

However, the situation is not necessarily the same depending on the business model of retailers, their stocks or their suppliers. According to an article in ICT Journal, which quotes Netzwoche, “Media Markt, Microspot and Interdiscount explained that they are not experiencing any bottlenecks in deliveries and are not affected by the epidemic, even if the search for alternative suppliers is studied “.
