The blocked accounts of big sellers have been restored, but the logistics problems of small sellers are out of control!

Last month, the suspension of sales of several big sellers caused turmoil in the industry. Just today, some sellers found that Amazon seemed to have restored the accounts of these big sellers, and some of their products have been listed for sale again.

While big sellers still have room to maneuver when being blocked, the logistics problems plaguing small and medium-sized sellers are showing signs of getting out of control.

In recent months, skyrocketing freight rates on global routes, continued port congestion, and insufficient supply of containers have been major problems facing cross-border people. With the rapid deterioration of the epidemic, the entire container shipping market has been hit hard again.

According to reports, due to the closure of some operations at Yantian Port and the arrangement of relevant epidemic prevention measures, there are now about 40 container ships waiting for berths, long queues of trucks, and a backlog of nearly 23,000 export containers. According to the arrangement, only 5,000 containers will be accepted every day, and the current processing capacity is only 1/7 of the usual level.

As one of the world's largest container terminals, Yantian Port handles more than one-third of Guangdong's foreign trade imports and exports and one-quarter of China's trade with the United States, and provides services to at least 100 ships per week. Therefore, under the situation of slowing capacity at Yantian Port, major international shipping companies have to arrange port jumps.

Maersk’s latest notification on the operational status of Yantian/Shekou/Nansha ports states:

• Congestion and vessel delays at Yantian Port are expected to reach   More than 15 days .
