The fact that there are not significantly more goods is due to a number of reasons that can only be blamed to a limited extent on the manufacturer and certainly not on the retailers. Decisive factors are a glaring chip and component shortage, an enormous global demand for consumer electronics and exploding freight costs between Asia and Europe due to the pandemic.

For example, shipping a container from China to Germany cost $1,500 just a few months ago, but now it costs $5,000. Experts believe that even five-digit tariffs are possible. In addition, containers are in short supply: in some cases, companies have to wait months for free capacities.

Not only camera manufacturers are affected by this: The production and delivery of cars, refrigerators and smartphones, game consoles is also crippled, and in some sectors the assembly lines are even at a complete standstill.

The supply bottlenecks are simply the result of high demand and limited supply. Digitec can't do much about that. You simply have to be patient.

There are always excuses...
