If you're waiting on a furniture delivery, you're not alone. Some customers are reporting delays of four months or more assuming you can find the item you want in stock.Like everything else, the coronavirus pandemic has complicated distribution for the furniture business, and no one is immune to the problem of supply, demand and disruption."This has been a fundamental shock to the system,” says Michael Miller, chief operating officer at Convey, a technology company that helps retailers do better deliveries.“Our network has over 5 billion shipping events so we track every single data point from when a package leaves a fulfillment center, goes on a truck, goes to all of the different handoffs, and then reaches your door,” Miller added.Convey supports big, small and specialty retailers. Miller says the disruption in online business is complicated. And while things are getting better amid attempts to rebound and adjust to a new normal, there's a lot that can't be fixed overnight.“People are getting creative but the common denominator is they need more drivers, they need more trucks, they need more warehouses to keep up with this demand,” Miller said.Modloft, a Miami-based company that sells elite, contemporary and modern furniture, has 60% of its items on backorder, which company chief marketing officer Sean O’Brien said is “historic.”The “factory could have a delay, the transit company could have a delay bringing it into port, the port could have a delay, the warehouse could have a delay, there’s all sorts of places along the line where things can get backed up and we have to be good about communicating to the customer what’s happening and when,” O’Brien said.Modloft saw a good April and a historic summer for sales, breaking company records But, like all other businesses who are trying to get customers their goods as fast as possible, stock is a problem.“Customers are frustrated they can’t get a particular sofa or color they want for 90 days and this is happening at all brands,” O’Brien said. Customers “may have been to four other stores and come to us as the fifth and still frustrated with the same experience.”A-list celebrities are Modloft customers, like professional athletes and Grammy-nominated recording artists, but no matter your name, your wait time will be the same.“If you see something you like, grab it,” Miller said. “There are definitely supply shortages out there. I would pounce, not wait if you see something available. Secondly, pay close attention to what the retailer is telling you about the estimated delivery date. This is very, very important.”Convey says customers should sign up for alerts, make sure an estimated delivery date is clearly displayed before you buy, and be patient. Especially through the holiday shopping season. 2799

I haven’t set foot in a grocery store in nearly four months.With a 10-month-old baby to think about, my husband and I have kept trips to the store to a minimum out of an abundance of caution during the pandemic. We’re fortunate to have just about every grocery delivery service at our disposal — and we’ve taken advantage.In between orders from Costco, Whole Foods, Imperfect Foods and more, I’ve noticed our virtual shopping habit is changing how we budget. We’re accounting for new grocery-related expenses. We’re also more deliberate about what we buy.Here’s why online grocery shopping could affect how much you spend — and ways to keep your budget intact.MarkupsYou could pay more online than in the store for the exact same item. That’s because some delivery services, or the retailers they partner with, inflate grocery prices to cover fulfillment costs.On Costco’s website, I was met with the message “item prices are marked up higher than your local warehouse. Instacart uses the markup to pay for their delivery service.” The exact price difference wasn’t specified.Same-day delivery service Shipt says its members can expect to pay about more on a order online than in the store. Plan that you will spend a few extra bucks every time you buy groceries online.Extra chargesAt the grocery store, the price you see is typically the price you pay. But online, fees for delivery, service, alcohol, memberships and subscriptions could be tacked onto your bill. Extra charges could range from a couple dollars for a service fee to about a hundred dollars for a membership.“You’re spending more money because it’s a service,” says Jennifer Weber, a certified financial planner in Lake Success, New York.How you use that service can also affect the cost. Often, you’ll pay a premium for quicker or high-demand delivery times. Then, there are tips. Tipping, while optional, is a simple way to support the workers risking their health to provide you with an essential service. Many grocery services set a default tip, so make sure to pick the amount you prefer.SubstitutionsItems could be unexpectedly out-of-stock, incorrect or missing from your delivery. Certain services allow substitutions for unavailable inventory. However, that can come at a higher cost. When the conventional tomatoes I ordered sold out, I ended up with organic tomatoes for more.When using services that charge for pricier replacements, consider opting out of automatic substitutions or allocating a few extra dollars toward your grocery budget as a cushion. Inspect orders closely upon arrival as well and notify the company if you’re charged for forgotten or incorrect items.Impulse purchasesGetting your groceries while sitting in front of your screen isn’t all bad news for your wallet: 46% of consumers say they’ve made fewer impulse purchases since shifting to online grocery shopping in the spring, according to a survey from Magid, a business strategy and research company.“Careful planning and buying only what you intend to is a little bit easier to do online,” says Steve Caine, a partner with the retail practice of Bain and Company, a management consulting firm. “You don’t get influenced quite the same way as you do when you’re walking through a store.”With no enticing candy displays or cleverly arranged shelves to stroll past, you might fill your cart with fewer items. Plus, Caine says shopping online allows you to better keep a “running total” of your purchase, while in the store, you usually don’t know until checkout.Ways to watch your budgetOnline grocery shopping is here to stay for the foreseeable future. These strategies can reduce the strain on your budget.Make a list. Check your fridge or pantry and jot down what you need for the week. “You can think ahead and say, ‘I want to spend 0 or .’ Then, you can do price comparisons for those items,” Weber says.Compare grocery services. Try building a basket on a few different sites to see which offers the lowest price on items. Explore all the costs involved and look for coupons or promotions before checkout.Be flexible. Choosing curbside pickup can help you skip delivery fees, tips and other charges. But if you opt for delivery, note that one-hour or same-day windows could be more expensive. Giving yourself time to plan and pushing it to next-day or two-day delivery can reduce the cost, Caine says.This article was written by NerdWallet and was originally published by The Associated Press.More From NerdWalletWhy Taking Social Security Early Costs Too MuchHow to Renegotiate Your Bills to Save MoneyFeeling Out of Control?

If you bought tickets to try and win Tuesday night’s huge Mega Millions jackpot, don’t forget to check your tickets even if you don’t win the jackpot.Americans don't claim about billion worth of lotto winnings every year, according to research.Jim Davidson always checks his tickets, even if he doesn't win big, and it's paid off.“For the lotto, I think that one was like a 0 payout,” Davidson explains. “Wasn't millions, but it was a good hit.Lottery officials say that's what all players should do after a drawing.  Experts say Americans forego roughly billion in lottery winnings every year. And the higher the drawing, the higher the likelihood of multiple smaller unclaimed prizes.“Check your numbers. It's really important to check those numbers,” says Jennifer Churchill with the Colorado Lottery. “You may have won 0 bucks; you may have won ,000 bucks.”Often times, winners don’t realize they’ve won.“People have carried around tickets for a length of time, not realizing that they have a winner either of a lower amount or even jackpots,” Churchill says. “We've actually had people hit jackpots and not come in for them.”Machines that check tickets can be found in almost every store where you can purchase a ticket. With Mega Millions, it only takes two matching numbers to win something. 1325

If you were waiting for the annual Kardashian-Jenner clan Christmas photo, or perhaps an invite to their annual Christmas Eve party, they are not coming.Khloe Kardashian tweeted this week that “taking this pandemic seriously is a must” and family traditions are being canceled.COVID-19 cases are spiking around the country, and in California, much of the state is under stay-at-home orders because of the dwindling number of available ICU beds. These orders include the most populous areas of the state, like Southern California where the majority of the Kardashian family lives.Responding to a question on Twitter about whether they were doing a Christmas party, Khloe responded, “The Covid cases are getting out of control in CA. So we decided that we’re not doing a Christmas Eve party this year. It’s the first time we will not be having a Christmas Eve party since 1978 I believe. Health and safety first though! Taking this pandemic seriously is a must.” 968
