STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — If you’re looking to purchase an artificial Christmas tree this season, you’d better act fast.
Shortages of artificial trees have been reported, stemming from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which triggered supply chain, staffing and shipping issues worldwide, leaving companies struggling to keep up with high demand.
Christmas trees can be found in all shapes and sizes online, and with prices that suit any budget. But order early to be sure yours arrives before Santa Claus does.
