Amazon's multiple warehouses exploded! The United States is liquidated, France is liquidated, and the United Kingdom is liquidated

During this period of time, cross-border people can be said to be surrounded by inventory restrictions, address verification, blocking of big sales, and strict evaluation. Under such circumstances, the logistics problem is even worse for the poor family.

The seller reported that the warehouse in the US station was seriously exploded, and the product was put on the shelves very slowly! It is reported that at present, warehouse explosions in North America, Europe and other sites are intensifying, and problems such as insufficient shipping capacity of routes and shortage of containers are emerging.

Warehouses in many places exploded, and port congestion in Europe and the United States intensified

Some freight forwarders reported that the warehouses of FTW1 in the United States have been severely depleted recently. The warehouse delivery queue has been queued on the highway, and the waiting time for unloading has also been lengthened, and some appointments have been pushed to a week later.

Sellers who have recently issued FTW1 warehouses have prepared countermeasures in advance!

The situation at the Canadian site is particularly severe. Affected by the epidemic, many warehouses have been closed and quarantined, and it is nowhere in sight for products to be on the shelves.

Amazon's warehouse in France has also exploded, making delivery more difficult and costly. There is a freight forwarder who increases the price for the two zip codes of 60452 and 80337, ranging from 2 yuan/KG to 4 yuan/KG.

Affected by Amazon's stockpiling, the DPD warehouse in the UK has been severely liquidated. Tens of thousands of Amazon packages are hoarded in the warehouse and cannot be delivered, and the speed of product shelves is slow.

At present, DPD has reduced the pick-up of goods, and now there is a serious shortage of DPD vehicles in the UK. There may be delays in customs clearance of goods sent to the UK, and pick-up and delivery will also be affected to a certain extent.

Some sellers said that their goods have been dispatched by British Airways for 25 days and have not yet been put on the shelves. It seems that multiple blows such as the third wave of the epidemic in Europe, ship jams, Easter and strikes have further hindered the logistics to Europe.

Amazon has issued an announcement

Recently, some FBA shipments have been delayed inbound due to the higher than expected volume of FBA shipments received at Amazon fulfillment centers. Please rest assured that we are working hard to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Until the issue is resolved, we may temporarily hold some inventory in a secure location pending receipt at our fulfillment center. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thanks for your patience.

In addition to waiting patiently, what else can sellers do to deal with the possible risks of liquidation?

1. The Amazon FBA is automatically assigned by the system if the shipment has been deleted multiple times and then rebuilt, and the seller cannot choose by himself.

So rebuilding the shipment is to keep reassigning the warehouse until you are satisfied. However, deleting too many shipments will also have side effects, which will affect the performance of the warehouse, so it is not recommended to try multiple times.

2. Change the delivery address, and change the delivery address to be closer to the warehouse address you want. Amazon may distribute your goods according to the principle of proximity.

3. Consider sending the goods to the east of the United States. At present, the port of Meixie is in serious condition, so you can consider sending the goods to the east of the United States. Choose the right logistics products, and send them to the east of the United States even faster than the west of the United States!

4. Change the size of the product to the size of the large shipment. If it is a new product, changing the size to the size of the large shipment can effectively avoid the warehouse that exploded, and the goods will enter the large shipment warehouse.

5. Control the delivery volume, because FBA will increase the storage rate during the peak season, and some small and medium sellers will over-deliver in order to avoid out-of-stock.

In fact, the cost of storage fees plus loans is quite high. Sellers should control their shipments according to their actual sales expectations.

6. The goods are sent to the overseas warehouse first. If you are a seller with an overseas warehouse, you can send the goods to the overseas warehouse first, and then transfer the goods from the overseas warehouse to FBA after the speed of the FBA warehouse is restored.

If there is no overseas warehouse, the seller can use the resources of the third-party overseas warehouse to send the goods to the overseas warehouse first, wait for the situation of the FBA warehouse to improve, and then send it to the FBA warehouse.

The price of air dispatch falls, and the cost of Shanghai dispatch remains high

This week, the price of airships has been lowered, and some freight forwarders quote at the beginning of 5, saying that the United States and Canada are selling airships at the same time.

There are also freight forwarders who offer lower quotations, and the quotations start with 4 when the goods reach 300. However, at present, the quotations of many freight forwarders are still mostly at the beginning of 5.

In response to this wave of air dispatch price cuts, some freight forwarders told customers that the price was only a short-term correction. At this time, replenishment should be arranged as soon as possible, and next week it will enter the mode of big price increase.

According to an analysis by an industry insider, the prices of U.S. and European airships have fallen back, which may be related to the decrease in seller orders. Is the impact of several big-selling products being unsalable too great?

In addition to air dispatch, the price of express delivery has also dropped. A freight forwarder quoted that the price of express delivery has dropped to the beginning of 5.

But the main channel of sea freight, the price rises exponentially. Some sellers lamented: the half-month shipping price has increased by 25%, and profits have been hit again.

According to data from CCTV’s financial report, among the 21 shipping routes in the world, the freight rate index of 16 shipping routes rose, and only 5 shipping routes’ freight index fell.

Among the major ports along the "Maritime Silk Road", the freight index of 12 ports rose. According to analysis by industry insiders, before September this year, the price of container shipping will hardly drop.

The main reason for the high sea freight rate is that the epidemic situation in my country is stable, a large number of overseas orders are pouring in, and the main routes are temporarily insufficient in capacity.

Some sellers said that problems such as warehouse explosion on the US line, lack of cabinets, dumping of cabinets, and port congestion broke out at the same time, and sea freight rates changed frequently.

In May, the US shipping will be more serious. In the future, there may be large-scale suspension of general ships, shortened opening time, and forced cancellation of SO, etc., and ocean freight will continue to rise sharply.

In this regard, many sellers are under increased pressure. Last year, the sea freight cost of 2,500 US dollars was too expensive, and now 8,000 US dollars are being snapped up.

The imbalance between the supply and demand of containers started as early as September last year, with frequent delays in shipping schedules, and various transportation costs have risen all the way. Today's cross-border people are in a difficult situation.

In response to the booming phenomenon in the current container shipping market, the transportation department has made it clear that it will intensify the review of freight rates, and urge and coordinate the increase in shipping capacity and the supply of containers.

For sellers, the top priority is to plan the shipment plan reasonably, prepare sufficient containers and storage space resources in time, and try to avoid logistics delays.
