That works for me - I had to wait several months longer than expected for a set of wiring harnesses for my 1931 Franklin Deluxe Coupe car. The delay was 2 fold:

1 - people stuck at home working on projects they’d been putting off for years, so resulting in a large increase in orders
2 - COVID regulations causing a decrease in available workers, particularly for those who worked in close quarters with each other needing to be spread apart - which really meant that the workforce was reduced if the available space couldn’t be increased.
