Warehouse explosion intensifies! FedEx refuses to pick up FBA goods! Sellers are out of stock on a large scale

Currently, FBA warehouses are constantly overwhelmed, especially some popular warehouses such as LAX9, PHX7, ONT8, FTW1, etc. Currently, these warehouses are seriously delayed, and FTW1 appointments have been scheduled until August. A US seller said that he had received a warning from the logistics company that the difficulty of FBA warehousing will increase again in the near future.

FBA’s warehouses were overwhelmed and there was no space left, so Amazon began to refuse to accept FedEx’s goods . After the FedEx goods were rejected, they were piled up in the warehouses, causing FedEx ’s warehouses to be seriously overwhelmed. Therefore, FedEx also refused to pick up all Amazon FBA goods.

A logistics company notified its customers that Amazon was short-staffed due to the pandemic and riots, and sellers continued to build warehouses and ship goods, so Amazon's appointments were pushed back to 10-30 days. Various factors have caused a shortage of truck frames at ports in the western United States, and a large number of overseas warehouses in the western United States have been overwhelmed. The shortage of truck frames has caused more and more containers to pile up at the Los Angeles docks.

More than a dozen popular warehouses, including LAX9, ONT8, LGB8, SMF3, MDW2, and IND9, have been overwhelmed. FedEx has directly suspended accepting Amazon packages from these warehouses. Sellers can imagine the delays in final delivery and should be mentally prepared.

"The warehouse is seriously overwhelmed now and we can't handle it at all. What else can we do if we don't suspend receiving?" said the freight forwarder.

Today, some freight forwarders began to issue notices to customers stating that Amazon's PHX7 warehouse is temporarily closed and will not accept goods.

Currently, FTW1 reservations are up to August, and other reservations are two weeks later.

When the sellers talked about the delivery time, a freight forwarder said that 80% of UPS and FedEx trucks in the United States are unable to unload at Amazon warehouses, and have stopped picking up goods since this week.

Now all the UPS and FedEx container trucks in the United States are drained to Amazon warehouses. The goods cannot be unloaded, and you have to make an appointment to enter the warehouse. At present, local pick-up in the United States has begun, and it will start later.

Many sellers have found that the number of orders has plummeted. Compared with the decrease in orders last week, the decline in sales in the past two days has made sellers even more frightened:

As the seller said, the order volume has dropped significantly, but the ranking has not dropped, which means that the decline in order volume is a common phenomenon. One seller said that he has obviously felt the overall traffic is low recently, the ranking has not dropped too much, but the order volume has dropped to a level that even his mother can't recognize.

During the holiday, Amazon's search page had problems, and most products were not displayed when searching for keywords, but the problem was quickly fixed. For sellers, the problem had limited impact because "there is not much stock left, waiting to be put into the warehouse." So far, many sellers have been anxious like ants on a hot pot due to the shortage of stock.

One seller was mad: "My store is in such a mess because of the out-of-stock situation. Please Amazon, please put my products on the shelves quickly. I can't sit still anymore. I have new products in stock!" The out-of-stock situation disrupted the seller's plan. The seller couldn't get the payment back. Should they ship the next batch of goods or not? In their anxiety, some sellers have lost interest in their work.
