▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation It is learned that Shenzhen recently announced that enterprises, institutions, production and operation units in five districts including Yantian District and Pingshan District have resumed normal working order and production and operation, and buses and subways have resumed operation. Although the current epidemic prevention situation in Shenzhen is still relatively severe, some areas have gradually achieved dynamic social zero, which is a good signal for winning the fight against the epidemic. On the other hand, the gradual lifting of the blockade of various regions also means that Shenzhen's local cross-border logistics services are expected to resume normal operations soon. Since Shenzhen pressed the "pause button" due to the resurgence of the epidemic, the suspension of logistics and warehouses has caused a large number of sellers to have difficulty shipping their goods, and the cross-border business of many sellers has come to a standstill. Under this circumstance, there have been frequent news reports of companies working offline in violation of epidemic prevention regulations and cross-border transport drivers forging nucleic acid certificates. Recently, a freight forwarding company was exposed for forcing employees to move to another office. In blatant violation of epidemic prevention regulations, the freight forwarding company forced employees to move to Guangzhou for work! It is learned that recently, an employee of a logistics company in Shenzhen broke the news on Weibo that his company blatantly violated epidemic prevention regulations and forced employees to move to Guangzhou for offline work. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo On March 13, Shenzhen announced that all residential areas and industrial parks in the city would be sealed off, and enterprises and institutions would implement work-from-home policies. However, while many Shenzhen workers rushed to buy daily necessities and move computers overnight, this logistics company "acted differently" and notified all employees to arrive on time at 8 o'clock. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo Although many employees reported that their residential communities had been sealed off, the company's leaders still insisted on their own way, ordering employees to pack up their goods and go to Guangzhou to work. They also used their connections and even instigated employees to leave the community while the nucleic acid test was being conducted. According to the whistleblower, she was kicked out of the group chat because she was unable to go to the company in time due to strict epidemic control in her community. Her husband was told that he was fired after he repeatedly promised the epidemic prevention personnel that he would "only go out and not come in" and tried his best to get out, leaving him unable to return home. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo After transferring employees and goods to Guangzhou, the logistics company did not take corresponding epidemic prevention measures, but immediately rushed to the warehouse to start shipping work after landing. In response to this, some netizens bluntly stated that the boss of the logistics company dismissed employees without reason during the epidemic, which violated the labor management regulations during the epidemic. During the epidemic lockdown period, he led employees to Guangzhou to work, which was also suspected of violating the lockdown management regulations. Not long ago, a container transport driver was reported by the public security department for forging a nucleic acid test report. Before that, a cross-border logistics company ignored epidemic prevention regulations and operated in violation of regulations and was investigated. Such lessons from the past have also sounded a wake-up call to all cross-border people. Although the resurgence of the epidemic has hit the cross-border logistics system hard, we must not go against the wind and forcibly break through the "shipping restrictions." At present, this round of epidemic has paralyzed many domestic factories and logistics systems, and the congestion of container ships in major ports has intensified. Some foreign analysts predict that this will lead to an increase in global shipping charter costs and longer and longer delays in transporting goods. The further increase in freight rates will be another blow to sellers' profits. Freight rates continue to rise and costs have doubled, and sellers are still worried about profits in 2022. However, recently, a "black technology" has appeared to help sellers reduce platform commission costs. The surprising "black technology" that reduces commissions has emerged, and some sellers are earning millions a year? Some time ago, Amazon launched a newbie gift package in multiple sites including the United States and Europe. One of the benefits is: for stores newly opened and brand registered in 2022, if sales reach US$1 million for the first time, Amazon will return a certain sales commission on a monthly basis, up to US$50,000. For sellers, the proportion of platform commission can be said to be an important factor in determining the final profit. Recently, a seller revealed a new type of "black technology" in a communication group: reducing Amazon's commission from the source, from 15% to 8%, and it has been effective. This entrance is only open for a period of time, and the number of places is limited. Some sellers have earned millions of dollars a year because of this. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group It is reported that there are a total of six places for this service, 20w/ASIN, corresponding to one store. It is mainly to dilute the big-selling resources that Amazon plans to give away to sellers for use. It will remain valid as long as Amazon's policies remain unchanged. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group If the commission rate can be reduced to a certain extent, it will save a lot of operating costs for sellers and help increase profits. For this reason, some sellers are eager to try after seeing this gossip. Some sellers said that they had successfully reduced the commission to 7% before, but now it depends on the product. Only some products are feasible, and there is no need to find a service provider. You can contact customer service to make the change. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers have also issued warnings about this, saying that sellers should never take the risk. After all, this is tantamount to cutting Amazon's flesh with a knife, which is more serious than false orders. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group At present, this method of reducing commissions has not been confirmed, and the so-called "annual income of millions" may just be a gimmick touted by the service provider. We would also like to remind all sellers that Amazon’s regulatory policies are becoming increasingly tightened. In addition to fake orders and reviews, any violations may be punished by Amazon later, so do not try to “pull teeth” from Amazon’s mouth. What do you want to say about this?
