Supply of stock to smaller Garden Centres

This year has steadily got worse for the supply of stock to smaller businesses,
What is happening? companies are saying they will deliver and just don't turn up, we get confirmations then hear nothing with nothing delivered. The lead time for some suppliers is over a month!

Don't think it's just small centres some suppliers seem just as bad for centres in buying groups as well .makes you wonder if they were under prepared for the season (no stock based on numbers from last year poor year) or theirs bigger problems at play with a handful of suppliers, or was their such a big push to restock the former Dobbies it has created gaps which suppliers are chasing to fill.
