Yes
I know this is pretty obvious but having tried for 2 or 3 days now to track down a bike and stunt scooter (without success) for my son the realisation that there are real shortages out there is hitting home.

I'm just putting this up as a wee reminder to folk to get their gifts in asap as leaving it later may lead to heartache.
 
We are doing exactly that, but beware that it looks like the theft/misdelivery of high value items has started too. Rowing machine should have been delivered today, recorded as signed for by a non-existent person with a photo of someone else unrecognisable doorstep and feet; DHL are investigating.

Bikes possibly stem from the summer shortage - although Decathlon had bikes in the other day, and have seen other retailers selling them.
 
I managed to get a bike recently during a lock down stage over here, but did have to click'n'collect and it took 2 weeks for them to have it ready because there was a back-log. Have you tried the likes of Halfords? That's where I got mine, got many a bike there and never had any issues with build/quality.
 
I had narrowed my search down to 3 or 4 different lightweight hybrid mountain bikes from Frog, Giant, Forme etc but there are literally no deliveries till Feb. I got one though as i called Giant and they told me of one supplier who had one bike and when i called they had it so it's paid for and I'm awaiting delivery. Fingers crossed.

You never said how old you son is?
 
I think the thread title should have been a shortage of some Christmas gifts. There certainly isn't a shortage of all Christmas gifts.
 
Yes mate it did. I haven't had a chance to open it due to work etc but the box is here.
