Episode description
The holiday shopping season is basically here. But a lot of things that Americans want to buy are not. Now the race is on to get goods off ships and into stores and warehouses — before it's too late.
NPRs Scott Horsley reports some retailers are already feeling the pinch from less inventory and higher shipping costs.
Even if goods do make it into the U.S., many are sitting in warehouses, which are bursting at the seams. NPR's Alina Selyukh explains why.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
