Disrupted supply chains encourage consumers to shop early for the holiday season

The pandemic is not the only thing that can worry us while preparing for the holidays. A new consumer survey in Europe by Oracle Retail has found that respondents are concerned about supply chain problems and product delays. For this reason, as many as 39 percent of Europeans have already started their Christmas shopping or are planning to do it earlier than usual. Of the respondents, 14 percent are willing to pay more to get faster or guaranteed delivery.
