In the short term, I think we're going to see a lot of industries try to normalize a "fuel surcharge".
Assuming you're in the US, I'm surprised this isn't already a thing -- it's been normalized for all manner of things in Canada since... I wanna say 2008? The last time we had a big sudden spike, anyways.j
Amazon etc. probably won't do it because they don't need to -- they will just tell their supply chain to eat it, and it will.
"anything that comes to your specified location on a 3T+ truck" to be clear; construction materials, cement, water hauling, stuff like that (plus freight I assume -- although I don't deal with that often). The installers/resellers of these things usually just roll it into the price at the consumer level. I think ferries may add a line on your ticket at times though?
