Freedom Furniture and Farmers have told customers they may have to wait up to five months for their purchases to be delivered due to production backlogs, staff shortages and shipping challenges.

Beale says products should start to move freely into New Zealand, but they still face a big issue of vessels being delayed when they come through the ports.
