Myriad factors depending on the particular good in question, but the biggest factor is just that US seaports are overwhelmed by a deluge of goods coming in beyond normal operating capacity.
If a burger joint is used to having 2-3 people on line at any time and then, due to a temporary shutdown, that line builds up to 9-10 people while you're slightly shortstaffed, that line isn't going back down to 2-3 since you're constantly playing 'catch up'.

It shows the house of cards our economy is built on. Pull out one card and the entire house falls.
The supply chain is an ecosystem that depends on suppliers, manufacturers, beneficial cargo owners (BCOs), shipping companies, port operators, chassle owners, truckers, railroads, and warehouse managers to work together in a cohesive system. Your Amazon product does not get to your doorstep same-day just because a delivery guy is able to pull it off a shelf. To get it on that shelf in the first place it has to travel halfway around the globe by a minimum of two forms of transportation.
In the run up to the pandemic, we saw the consumer wiping shelves clean of any household product they could get their hands on. At the same time China shut down. BCOs had not planned for this and did not make necessary changes with their manufacturers to prepare for the
inventory crunch.
Pretty soon thereafter the shut downs across the globe happened. Consumer spending shifted from typical purchases to "stay at home" purchases - there were runs on exercise equipment, electronics, etc. No one was buying cars, material to build homes, etc.
China reopened and they needed to make chips for consumer electronics since America was outfitting their stay-at-home offices. Meanwhile, Lib policies gave every incentive to union members NOT to work and any union run operation was at a stand still. Ports had no workers. No truckers. Train engineers on the sidelines. All getting furlough pay AND stimmies.
As manufacturing overseas came back online, BCOs ramped up orders to fill their shelves. But they didn't anticipate what the next consumer spending focus would be. BCOs were stuck in the at home play. All the while cargo was stacking up at the ports. The logistics chain was breaking down.
Ports have not caught up. There is a huge demand for truck chassis that are sitting at warehouses unused because there are not enough truckers to dead-head them to port. Train capacity is normalized but the ILA has not gone back to work fully. Ships are sitting on shore because the crew is often made up of people from several different countries, all with different vaccines and vaccines requirements. It is not unheard of for a ship worker to have taken the vaxxx 7 or 8 times by now. Some of them have to take the vaxx in every country they call on. Some have to take it every time they come to the US. Its a shit show and those guys are pozzed 6 ways from Sunday.
