I think I broke my GOOGLE !!!! No help.

WTH is going on?

For the life of me I cant find a place that carries/sells this stuff.

Google cant help me find some to buy for some reason.

AMAZON is out of stock for some reason.

I think it usually goes for 15-20 bucks.........

Any chance one of you computer wizards send me a link where I can buy some?

THANKS Don!

That's down the road from me! I'm no longer is Costa Mesa but Santa Ana is 15 min from me.

I honestly have NO idea why I was getting nothing with my searches... oddest thing.

It's not like its some super rare product or something....... very weird.

Ideally I'd like to order it on-line and have it delivered to the house........ but if I cant do that, then a casual drive to SA is in my future!

Don't be too surprised. A lot of normal items are back ordered and not on shelves. IDK where that stuff is made, but there are container ships in the San Pedro Bay out of the Port of Long Beach and POLA that won't get to berth until sometime in June. Meanwhile, 1000's of SKU's are literally stuck at sea.

The COVID has worked over the The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU, which is a misnomer because the union is strictly West Coast) and there is a shortage of union labor.

Which is a bit hard to understand because any given cruise ship will require up to 80 union workers per shift while at dock. All in all, cruise ships are sitting idle.

But really, that's a drop in the bucket when you consider how many containers are off loaded every day and how much labor is involved.

It takes around 10 years to get an IWLU "A" card.

Milt.... dang it, your right, i hadn't thought of that..... such a minor thing to be short on... i went to another Walmart today...... they didn't have it on the shelf either.

dang it..... gonna poke around locally to see if there are any hanging around.

if by chance anyone sees/finds an on-line place that has it to sell, please let me know.

So I took the pcar out for a drive this morning, went to Santa Ana as suggested. Turns out they don't have the polish or wax on the shelf. Guy said all stuck on containers in long Beach per Milt. He did a search and found both products in the distribution center, he could have them there by tomorrow.

All set, paid for both WITH receipt and ill go back tomorrow.

Freaking Covid.
