The big concern for retailers and shoppers last year was the supply chain the network of ships, trains, planes and trucks that deliver goods to stores thats often ignored until it doesnt work.

This holiday season, worries about the supply chain have died down, and inflation concerns have replaced them, National Retail Federation officials said in their annual holiday shopping forecast.

Planes, trains, ships and trucks are operating without issues for shoppers to be concerned about depending on where they live.
