I made my last purchase from eBay a couple weeks ago. An item that showed 3-5 day shipping still hasn't arrived 15 days later from CA. Why? Because these chinese sellers are misrepresenting their locations as being in the USA when they actually aren't and eBay isn't doing anything about it.
"Shipping is slow due to the virus" isn't valid.
On a side note, I haven't set foot in a Wal-Mart in about 6 years because I got tired of the one cashier they have always being on break... so I quit going. They are also the go to place for "Made in China" which is another reason I'll continue the boycott.
There are not such thing as a store with multiple departments that do not sell merchandise made in
China, even when it has an American Name on it. I just bought a new 32 inch Television Set I use as a Computer Monitor (cheaper than a regular 19 inch monitor. An RCA (American Company) but made for them in China.
I already sent a email asking to close my account I blocked their email and took myself off their mailing list. As far as Chinese products I can’t stop buying everything but I sure as hell can looknfor a American or European version. If it costs a bit more fine with me.
I may not be able to completely stop buying Chinese but i sure as heck can try

Same with the toilet paper and paper towel shortage lately. Start making it here again. I dont mind paying a little more for it, if its more readily available and made here.

I've run into this recently and it's rather frustrating.
I bought a product that said was in stock in TN. After I finally got shipping info, it was coming from Guangzu, China.

We really should be worried more about pharmaceuticals than TP.. Though I will agree that it'll likely be easier to start up production on paper products.
In a pinch, you can clean your butt with soap and water. Little harder to make blood pressure medicine or nitro tablets.
Even India is getting most of the raw ingredients to make the pharms from China.

Toilet paper isn't imported, it's all made here, as it's too bulky and too low priced to import. However, the plants, which run 24x7, are sized for normal consumption rates, and there wasn't any spare capacity to handle the surge in demand.

Very few paper products come from China. It is one of the things the US still does overwhelmingly.

Correct.
Exception: Walmart
No. 10 white business envelopes
Walmart used to sell a box of 50 (now 40) Mead brand made in USA. No. 10 white business envelopes.
Then Walmart switched to No. 10 business envelopes made in China.
The China ones only lasted a few weeks. As . . . who wants to lick China glue?
Then and currently Walmart sells No. 10 white business envelopes made in Mexico.
(yes, there are peel off self sticking envelopes also)
Dollar Tree still sells the white No. 10 business envelopes made in USA.
Both stores - the price is the same.
