Costco customers might have a hard time finding their favorite cheese.

The company says it's having trouble keeping imported cheese in stock because of a shortage of shipping containers around the world.

It says there have also been bottlenecks at West Coast ports.

The combo has led to delays for suppliers shipping their goods and higher costs in the supply chain.

Costco says the problem not limited to cheese but also seafood, olive oil and furniture to name a few.
