The largest impact we had/have is that the shipments for restocks and new releases that were en route or at customs were/are delayed. They give these hurricanes a large window, so shipments from manufacturers stop long before the hit, and do not resume until the carriers feel that the logistics of shipping from A to B through or to Florida from other affected areas across the gulf are back to 'normal'. On top of that, some companies will manually hold the shipments at the manufacturer even before they are held by the carrier, so as to not risk their shipment being caught in the mess of everyone else in some carrier warehouse.
That being said, the power outages are mostly resolved, and shipping to retailers has only been delayed 1-3 days from manufacturers with warehouses based in Florida.
If you buy from a retailer in Florida, there is a bit more of a delay because carriers held 90% of the packages going into the state in Tallahassee & Jacksonville until the business account contacts the carrier and asks them to release the package....
What would be helpful is the carrier letting us know that we have to call in. Many retailers probably expect them to automatically release the packages, which I'm sure they will eventually, but I called and had mine released from TX, CA, NV yesterday and had them today. I'm betting they don't auto-release for a while, so have your retailer call in if they're based in Florida and they had a package en route.
Also, yes
@ChuckMejia , safety should be the top concern. Florida had a hell of a plan in place for Irma. More prepared than I've ever seen Florida gubment in the last 30 years.
