In light of a potential shortage due to port strikes and increased demand in areas affected by Hurricane Helene, some US consumers are stockpiling toilet paper supplies. Concerns about disruptions to supply chains are prompting many to secure their stocks. A look at the website of retail giant Costco reveals that Charmin toilet paper is no longer available for delivery at numerous locations nationwide.
