Possible DEF shortages

[Hay Dude]

There's a substantial difference between
"I can't find any XXX" and
"My retailer of choice doesn't have XXX at the price I usually pay"

They only had 2 of the more expensive blue DEF left.
This is in a Walmart that usually has pallets of it in stock.
WalMart brand is $7.98
Blue DEF brand is $13.98

Have not seen this yet most of our DEF comes in bulk, NAFDA the worst thing done to us

Well maybe when you get done complaining about China you should shop somewhere other than Walmart.
Blue DEF isn't the only other choice.

Its not the only place where DEF is out of stock. NAPA, Lowe’s, etc. are also typically low on stock or sold out. Of course there’s plenty of the ”premium DEF” for $20.
BTW, I have a right to and should complain about “made in China”. It costs us American jobs and supply chain interruptions. You should, too.

Still two Kleen 55gal drums for $170, Kleen for $9.50, and Blue for 20. Supply problem must just be in certain areas...not here.

Well, sure for lots of other things, but I’ve pretty much given up on the DEF.
You have to understand something, WalMart came to my town and wiped out all the smaller stores. It’s the only option for some of our needs.

Hypocrisy is rampant. We are all guilty. But Walmart isn't my go-to for anything. And I try to know where the stuff I buy comes from.

I haven't been to a Wmart in years because we do have better options available. Even ordering a better product on-line is an option I use.

You either patronize Wallmat or you don’t. I have become ambivalent on that. I don’t understand those who shop there on one hand, and complain about imports in the next breath.

That’s hypocritical, in my eyes.

No matter where you live, there are options.
