Spread the word! Amazon's French warehouse has reopened, check to see if your products are available for sale! !

On April 15, due to the outbreak of the epidemic in France, the French government stipulated that Amazon could only deliver orders for food and medical protective supplies, and all non-essential orders would be stopped, otherwise it would face a fine of up to 1 million euros per day.

Because it is impossible to completely avoid the delivery of non-essential orders, and in order to avoid large fines, Amazon directly suspended the operations of all local logistics centers in France!

The ones who suffered the most were naturally the sellers on the French site. The sellers said that all their products were banned from sale, making the already precarious order volume even worse.

Sellers are looking forward to the news of the opening of the French site every day. They are looking forward to it day and night, but the news they got is that the closing time of Amazon's French site has been extended again.

Subsequently, the logistics center of the French station will remain closed until May 13. During this period, a series of services such as shipping, transportation, and delivery provided to sellers will continue to be suspended.

On May 13, Amazon said it planned to extend the closure of its French warehouses until May 18.

Just when the sellers were eagerly waiting, they finally received the news that Amazon France will restart operations on May 19!

The resumption of work agreement signed between the French labor union and Amazon shows that about 30% of employees will return to work starting May 19. Before June 2, 10,600 regular and temporary workers will return to work one after another.

The agreement between the two parties also stipulates that employees who voluntarily return to work can receive a bonus of 2 euros per hour before June 2. During the same period, those who refuse to return to work and stay at home will also receive full salary.

The agreement also removes Amazon's shipping restrictions in France, meaning that the goods Amazon can deliver are no longer limited to daily necessities.

The restart of the French warehouse is exciting news for local consumers, Amazon employees, and small and medium-sized sellers in France.

In the seller communication group, many French sellers said that their listings can be sold!!!

Although only some of the products are available for sale, sellers are excited because their wallets have been thirsty for a long time and now they can finally start accepting orders and make a fortune. Many sellers have already started to run a series of operations such as advertising and replenishing inventory.

Of course, there are also some sellers who said: I am really unlucky, it is not my turn yet.

It is sad that the products are still unavailable, but some European sellers have come out to give the non-African sellers a fatal blow, saying that not only are their products available again, but their inventory is in France. This means that as long as there is an order, it can be shipped quickly.

Later, some sellers who were unable to sell their products opened a case and asked customer service. Customer service said that they had not received any notification that the French site could receive and ship goods normally, and hoped that sellers would continue to pay attention to the seller platform and the backend news page.

The seller then said that the reply he received from customer service was that the inventory in France was still not available for sale, and then some of the inventory in the link was available for sale in other countries, but it became unavailable again after it was sold out.

However, some sellers also said that the customer service also said that there is currently no relevant notification that the French site can receive and ship goods normally, but some of their products were available for sale shortly after they asked the customer service... The sellers complained that Amazon's customer service is really a mystery.

For sellers whose products on the French site are still not available for sale, some sellers have suggested refreshing the backend page more often.

I believe that as Amazon employees gradually return to work and warehouse operations and delivery capabilities are gradually restored, more and more sellers' products will be available for sale.

I wonder how many French seller links are available for sale today? What products are they? Please leave a comment below to share~
