▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation According to Extensiv data, due to the recovery of offline shopping and the impact of inflation and supply chain crisis, the order volume of many cross-border platforms is currently showing a collective downward trend.
Now that Prime Day is approaching, many sellers' enthusiasm for stocking up has greatly decreased. At the same time, the cooling of the online shopping boom has also prompted Amazon to decide to sublease at least 10,000 square feet of excess warehouse capacity. However, under this circumstance, many popular warehouses have recently experienced warehouse overflows during the off-season. Why is Amazon subletting while experiencing "strange" warehouse overflows? Amazon warehouses face huge delays during off-season We learned that a seller recently revealed that according to feedback from overseas in the United States: some popular warehouses such as ONT8 , LAX9, LGB8, etc. will be temporarily closed due to warehouse overflow or reconstruction, and appointment times will be frequently temporarily adjusted, postponed or cancelled. For card delivery and UPS delivery, the delivery time to the above warehouses will be delayed in the near future. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Many sellers said they had received notices from freight forwarders. Currently, all truck delivery appointments have been postponed by the Amazon system, and the system frequently experiences delays or cancellations. UPS has also experienced a small number of delayed deliveries, so sellers need to make more appointments when making logistics plans. According to many sellers, the West Coast of the United States is experiencing a "grand situation" of warehouse explosion. One seller's goods arrived at Hong Kong on the 3rd, US time, and now half a month has passed and he has not yet picked up the container. For this reason, most sellers choose to purchase in bulk, otherwise it will take at least 20 days just to enter the warehouse. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers shared the recent appointment and delivery status of FBA warehouses. Among them, ONT8 and LGB8 warehouses were seriously overwhelmed, and some appointments were changed, but the delivery time was normal. It was difficult to make an appointment for a full container at LAX9 warehouse. The appointment time was often modified by Amazon, and the waiting time for unloading was long. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group However, sellers have not yet passed the off-season in the first half of the year, and low order volume is a common phenomenon. Why are there so many warehouses in Amazon's popular warehouses being blown up? Recently, a logistics company revealed a bombshell that Amazon's warehouse explosion was actually caused by human factors. Overseas warehouses pursue huge profits and deliver goods nearby. Will Amazon clean up a large number of accounts? We learned that a logistics company recently broke the news on a self-media platform. The inside story of Amazon's off-season warehouse explosion was mainly due to the unscrupulous overseas warehouses and truck companies, in pursuit of 800% profits, delivering Amazon goods from remote warehouses such as FTW1 in other states to nearby ONT8, LAX9, LGB8, and other bad behaviors, which resulted in the cargo owners' goods not being put on the shelves and being lost. It is reported that once Amazon finds that the goods are delivered to the wrong warehouse, it will arrange for an internal truck to transfer the goods to the original destination and deduct an additional transportation fee from the seller's account. Not only that, if Amazon finds out, the seller’s account will be warned or even banned. Currently, Amazon is cracking down on such accounts, restricting and canceling their reservation qualifications. In fact, this bad behavior was rampant last year. It was suddenly exposed recently because a large domestic Amazon logistics company tracked the goods through GPS to inquire about the reasons why they were not put on the shelves for a long time and were lost. Now, a dispute worth tens of millions is underway, and as the situation develops, the scope of involvement may further expand. Before one crisis is over, another one arises. A video recently exposed the internal workings of Amazon's SBD3 warehouse. In the video, we can see that some goods from warehouses such as ONT8 and SMF3 are mixed in, which is undoubtedly a strong evidence. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Amazon has not yet made it clear that it will conduct a strict investigation of accounts that do not match the delivery warehouse address, but if the situation escalates and attracts official attention, it is likely to usher in a new wave of account cleanup. Especially as the peak season approaches, Amazon's rectification measures are becoming more stringent. It has been reported before that a seller claimed that in the event of any illegal operation, his account and the stores of three other sellers were inexplicably associated with a strange account X. After investigation, it was found that these four accounts might have used the same overseas warehouse address, which led to Amazon determining it as a weak association. At the critical moment of preparing for the second half of the year's big sales, logistics scandals have occurred one after another recently, disrupting sellers' delivery plans. Some logistics companies have concealed or underreported goods, and the goods have been mismatched, resulting in a large number of goods being detained. There have even been self-reports of forgeries that have been inspected by customs. To this end, sellers also need to pay attention to the logistics status of the goods in a timely manner to avoid loss of items, delivery to the wrong warehouse, etc. At the same time, they should also pay attention to choosing reliable logistics channels to avoid falling into the trap of unscrupulous black freight forwarders for the sake of greed.
