I shot two big game animals in the past month and went to buy an upright freezer. The normal/large sizes, such as 13-21 cubic feet, are all sold out and backordered for several months. I have some chest freezers so it's not an issue, but I want the organization friendly upright style. It seems like americans are stocking up on meat as well as part of their prepping activities.

At least in Canada, all appliances are sold out. It has been an excellent year for the appliance industry.

I'd think a contributing factor is production delays due to Coronavirus related supply-chain impacts and that it isn't just limited to freezers. Anecdotally, a HomeDepot sales person told me recently that Bosch dishwashers are backordered until February due to a interruption in bolt manufacturing.
