New logistics situation? How can Amazon sellers prevent warehouse delays?

New logistics situation? How can Amazon sellers prevent warehouse delays?

Yesterday, a Canadian trade union organized a strike of up to 155,000 people , involving a large number of port, airport and customs workers. The entry of goods into Canada has been severely delayed recently!

The organization that initiated the strike is the Public Service Union of Canada, which is also the largest public servant union in Canada, with more than 230,000 members, mostly from taxation, insurance, customs and immigration management . The purpose of the strike is still to improve treatment and demand that the government provide a more relaxed working environment.


Since the beginning of this year, there have been crazy parades all over the world, and almost all the European and American markets familiar to cross-border sellers have been involved.


At the end of March, Germany saw its largest strike in 30 years. The strikers were directly employees of the airport freight and railway industries. At that time, all goods entering Germany had to be delayed.

France also started a strike in early April. All French ports stopped operating from April 6th to 7th, and shipping companies such as Maersk could only wait at the port.

Immediately afterwards, a temporary strike broke out at the Port of Los Angeles, the largest port on the west coast of the United States, and the terminal sent back all freight drivers who came to pick up goods.

Every time a strike occurs, the goods that are still on the way are the ones that suffer. They are either stuck at the airport or at the dock waiting for the strike to end. Moreover, during the strike, the goods at the front end will not stop and will continue to pile up waiting to be processed. If the dock's processing capacity is already full, the piled-up goods can easily be stuck for several weeks.


Port strikes in Europe and the United States are so frequent, and judging from the recent economic situation in Europe and the United States, the rising cost of living caused by inflation cannot be solved in a short time, so strikes will also occur frequently. How can sellers ensure that their goods are replenished to FBA warehouses in time to reduce the risk of delays? Especially now that Amazon still has storage restrictions and has implemented storage turnover rate surcharges and excess storage fees, the cost of stocking a large amount of goods in FBA warehouses is too high. I suggest that you can use overseas warehouses to make Plan B.
