Camera shops here in the Chicago area have been empty of Velvis 35mm in probably the longest time I can remember.
Same in your area as well?
 
I've had a backorder in at Unique Photo for a few months with no movement. My local store had some a few weeks ago (I bought several rolls), though.

Have you tried PJ's in Glen Ellyn? They use multiple suppliers and usually keep fujichrome in stock. Owners are big film people.
 
I wanted to use some Velvia this season, kept frozen Provia from the pandemic. Alas but at least, the shortage was announced: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/fujifilm-velvia-provia-120-shortage.191195/
In all the ways Fuji works mysteriously, they still list Fujichrome (Provia + Velvia) but, at least 120 has all but become unavailable in Europe. I recently saw somebody post a picture of Velvia dated 2025 (2y from manufacture).

Oh well

Glad to hear PJ's is still going and still pushing film! I spent a lot of time in there as a camera-obsessed high school kid in Glen Ellyn. Those were the days when you'd get a free roll of Konica Centuria with every develop/print order. Good place and good people.
 

They did the free film until maybe 2011-12. By then the cost of film became too high.
