The problem isn't delivery drivers- the "last mile" is the easiest part of the shipping industry to increase capacity in because there's almost no infrastructure needed. The big problem is warehouses not able to restock in the first place. The back end of the shipping industry has been overwhelmed for months by a combination of excessive demand, reduced worker capacity and reduced production.

Stores that offer things for sale that they expect to have in one day suddenly can't get them. Stores that drop ship suddenly don't have access to their products and don't find out about it until after the order is placed. Their resupply shipment dates keep getting pushed back as well.

But doesn't eBay require sellers to actually have things on hand in order to list them? I thought that was a thing.
