As Americans stock up on food to get through the coronavirus lockdown, freezers have become one of the nation's most sought-after — and scarce — supplies.
Best Buy recently announced that it has suspended installations, haul-aways and repairs for large items like refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers and TVs. The items are being offered with free doorstep delivery.
“We are seeing a surge in demand across the country for products that people need to work or learn from home, as well as those products that allow people to refrigerate or freeze food,” Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said in a statement."As we meet the demand for these necessities, we are adjusting how we operate in many ways to improve safety.”
Lowe's officials also say that they've seen increased demand for freezers and are working around the clock to replenish inventory while Walmart has seen dramatic increases in sales of plasticware storage, vacuum seal machines and accessories. "As customers are stocking up on bulk food products, they need a place to store it," Lowe's president and CEO Marvin Ellison said in a recent interview with USA TODAY.Scrivani still wants the freezer and said Best Buy said in an email that April 21 is the cutoff before the order is canceled.Follow USA TODAY reporter Kelly Tyko on Twitter:
