The head of the Port of Long Beach, which has been dealing with unprecedented supply chain issues in recent days, said that people who want their Christmas items on time need to shop sooner than in previous seasons.

“Shop early because these delays and bottlenecks are going to continue to the end of the year,” Mario Cordero, the port’s executive director, told Bloomberg News. “Hopefully, we'll have some strong mitigating factors.”
