Caught off guard! All export goods were stopped from loading, and a large number of FBA goods were abandoned

Recently, the international logistics situation has further deteriorated, and major ports are facing serious backlogs. The following notice is even more disturbing!


All export goods will be stopped



Yesterday morning, a piece of news went viral on WeChat Moments. The main content was the latest order issued by the General Administration of Railways:

Due to backlogs at the port station, from 18:00 on December 8 to 18:00 on December 13, all loading of outbound goods to Erlian (border) and Alashankou (border) will be suspended except for the China-Europe express trains. If there are key materials, please report to the group company and submit to the China Railway Corporation.


 

In this regard, a freight forwarder said: "There is a serious backlog of export goods. Railway transportation must first deal with the previous backlog of goods and then start shipping other goods after five days."

All export goods will be stopped within 5 days. This has never happened before. Now is the Christmas peak season, and five days are enough time to accumulate more goods. By then, the goods will probably have to queue up for export, and time delays may be even more serious.




Apart from railways, sea and air transport are not very optimistic at present.


A large number of FBA goods were abandoned on the roadside


In addition to the significant reduction in European shipping capacity, the United States has also suffered "bad luck". Recently, various FBA lost goods incidents have continued to ferment, and many sellers have said that their goods have been missing for more than a month, and the claim issues are difficult, the process is cumbersome, the cycle is long, and the efficiency is low. In some cases, the compensation amount is far lower than the value of the goods.

Some sellers even revealed in the group that more than a dozen boxes of goods from an Amazon seller were abandoned on the roadside after arriving in the United States.

In addition, more and more sellers have reported that Chinese goods were abandoned next to American warehouses, and overseas Chinese truck drivers who wanted to help move them in were warned of being blacklisted.

 

The picture above shows that a Chinese American truck driver saw a large number of goods being abandoned at the LGB8 warehouse, and the words "Shenzhen Longgang" could be clearly seen on some of the goods.

The truck driver couldn't bear it and wanted to pick it up and send it to the FBA warehouse, but was rejected by Amazon staff, and anyone who picked it up would be directly blacklisted...

A large number of Chinese sellers' goods were abandoned

The next ten days or so will be the Christmas shopping peak period on Amazon platform. The traffic will be considerable and inventory will become a weapon for explosive sales. Sellers are advised to adjust prices in time and keep the stock as long as possible.

However, for many sellers, the current situation is that although the meat in front of them is tempting, they have no choice but to give up because the inventory has reached the bottom.

Seller Feedback
Due to the remote address, several shipments sent to MQJ1 were charged an additional RMB 3.5 per kilogram, but the delivery speed was still slow, so the address was later changed to FTW1.

Another seller encountered
Another seller had a similar experience. The freight forwarder said that this was a new warehouse and a remote location, and that they would charge an extra 20 RMB per box for remoteness. The speed of putting the goods on the shelves at the new warehouse was not optimistic either. One seller said that the goods had not been put on the shelves even after being delivered to MQJ1 for seven days.

ONT8 still deters sellers. One seller said that it took a week for the goods to be put on the shelves, but only 25 were put on the shelves after half a month, which was beyond reproach. As the speed of putting the goods on the shelves was criticized, some sellers chose to pay more to ship to the Eastern US to avoid these overstocked warehouses.

In fact, the most frightening thing is not the slow listing, but the loss of goods. Some sellers just prayed: "It should be difficult to enter the big warehouse recently, I just hope the goods will not be thrown away."

During this period, sellers must be cautious in replenishing stocks, especially for those SKUs whose sales are not very stable. Do not ship goods at the warehouse limit, otherwise it will be troublesome if the goods are cancelled.
