▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation It is learned that according to customs statistics, in the first two months of this year, China's total import and export value reached 6.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.3% over the same period last year. Among them, exports reached 3.47 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.6% over the same period, ushering in a wave of "good start". However, Shenzhen, known as the "capital of cross-border e-commerce", has suffered setbacks since the beginning of the year. Following the recent outbreak of the epidemic in Bantian, Shenzhen’s cross-border base, Shenzhen’s epidemic prevention and control measures have been comprehensively upgraded again. It is learned that on March 13, the Shenzhen Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Command issued a notice that from March 14 to 20, all public buses and subways in the city will be suspended except for transportation to ensure the operation of the city and the transportation of materials to Hong Kong; all community neighborhoods, urban villages, and industrial parks in the city will be under closed management. As the work-from-home mode begins, cross-border people in Shenzhen rush to buy food overnight It is learned that as of March 13, there were 86 new cases of COVID-19 in Shenzhen, of which 75 were diagnosed as confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 11 were diagnosed as asymptomatic infections of the new coronavirus. Forced by the current severe epidemic situation, many cross-border companies have implemented work-from-home operations. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers mentioned that, given the current situation, staying at home and going between two places is the safest during this period. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers also said that it is unclear how long they will have to work from home and they plan to start stockpiling food. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group In response to this, some sellers reported that the prices of vegetables and meat in their communities had risen significantly, with the price of meat even reaching 35/500g. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Even late last night, many people were still queuing up in the supermarket to buy vegetables, triggering a rush to buy vegetables and meat. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo Regarding this, we learned that on March 13, Shenzhen issued a notice to the general public, stating that Shenzhen has sufficient supply of edible agricultural products and smooth supply, and various places have prepared sufficient supply of daily necessities in advance and will continue to increase the supply of daily necessities. Therefore, Shenzhen sellers don’t have to worry too much about the issue of daily necessities. However, in addition to the problem of food and clothing, what cross-border people are most concerned about is the issue of logistics and transportation. Shenzhen logistics has pressed the "pause button" and some warehouses have stopped receiving goods! It is learned that as soon as the notice of upgraded epidemic prevention and control in Shenzhen came out, some sellers expressed a series of concerns on the forum: I don’t know whether the goods that were not shipped this week can be shipped next week, whether the logistics company will still be at work, and whether the procurement, ordering, packaging and delivery will be paused.
▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan In this regard, some sellers in the seller communication group this morning reported that they worked hard all night to pack and prepare for sea shipment, but still could not make it in time for delivery because all ports were closed. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers also said that the freight forwarders had notified them to work from home and they were unable to ship the goods. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers have even stated that several of their warehouses have been quarantined.
▲ The picture comes from Weibo We also learned that due to the severe epidemic situation in Shenzhen, major warehouses issued a notice early this morning to suspend receiving goods, and based on the current situation, the delivery time of freight forwarders will also be seriously affected. Fortunately, some sellers reported that full containers at Yantian Port can still be operated normally for the time being. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo In addition, it was also learned that although most warehouses in Shenzhen have suspended receiving and delivering goods on the 14th, some freight forwarders said that the South China Logistics Park and Longhua warehouse are still receiving goods normally, and warehouses in Dongguan and Zhuhai are still receiving and delivering goods normally. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group We would also like to remind all sellers to pay attention to the freight forwarding information in a timely manner so that they can respond to emergencies in a timely manner. So far, in addition to Shenzhen, many places including Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Shanghai, Jilin, etc. have also been affected by the epidemic, which has had a great impact on people's daily lives. But as Dr. Zhang Wenhong said: This epidemic came very suddenly. It is better to say that it is a late spring cold snap than to say that winter has not passed yet. But when we see the road ahead and the spring that is bound to come, what is there to fear? The spring of victory in the fight against the epidemic will surely come. By then, logistics will no longer be obstructed, the supply chain will begin to recover, and freight rates will drop. The spring for cross-border sellers will also arrive as promised. I wonder what the current status of the goods of Shenzhen sellers is? Can they still be shipped smoothly? Welcome to discuss in the comment area~ |
