A/C Compressor on National Back-Order?

I am being told that air conditioning compressors are on national back order. Anybody else experiencing that?

Thanks!

Last Thursday (10/13), I hit a racoon and he took out my radiator, radiator support, fan, spoiler, lower grill and the AC condener. I just got it back today. $1635. Damned racoon. The condenser was $383.25 plus $30 for the Freon.

The shop got the condenser from either Morristown Mini or Prestige Mini, both located in NJ. No wait !!!

Hope this helps.

Hopefully, you didn't get charged for the damage? It should be covered under Comprehensive coverage.
