Shipping is difficult! The last-mile delivery is still broken, and the price of self-delivery logistics has dropped!

Shipping is difficult! The last-mile delivery is still broken, and the price of self-delivery logistics has dropped!

Last week, Amazon's stock price closed up 0.4% to a record high of $2,890.30. At the same time, Bezos' net worth soared to $171.6 billion.


Just yesterday, when the U.S. stock market closed, Amazon's stock price broke through the $3,000 mark for the first time, closing at $3,057.04 per share , an increase of 5.77%, with a market value of $1,524.778 billion .


Amazon's stock price is expected to continue to rise as the epidemic boosts demand for online shopping. My brother-in-law is a real winner in life, but sellers have been troubled by logistics in recent times.


The last leg is tight and the China-Europe train is congested

Previously, many sellers revealed that Amazon warehouses were overwhelmed, and the speed of FBA goods entering the warehouse and being put on the shelves was extremely slow, and Llisting was once facing a shortage of goods.


This warehouse explosion phenomenon has occurred in the United States, Japan, and Europe, and sellers' goods have been unable to be put on the shelves for sale.

On the one hand, sellers were shipping goods in large quantities, and Amazon warehouses were understaffed and under-capacity, resulting in goods piling up in warehouses waiting to be received; on the other hand, UPS and FedEx were both severely overwhelmed at the end of the delivery process, and truck reservations were also tight.

A logistics company posted a picture saying that the queues to enter Amazon warehouses are very long.



Recently, there have been reports that China-Europe trains are extremely congested and the timeliness of logistics in Europe is worrying!


The following is an emergency notice for the first leg of European railway journey:


Due to the serious congestion in the direction of Alashankou and Horgos Port, all domestic railway containers are waiting to be shipped. In recent weeks, railway containers are estimated to be delayed by about 3-5 days. The collection time is estimated to be about 32-35 days after loading. Please be informed! It is recommended to switch to European sea transportation.

It is reported that this phenomenon will last at least until mid-July.


As sellers have been replenishing and shipping a large number of products, the logistics channels and the final stage have experienced warehouse overflows to varying degrees, and it is likely that recovery will be difficult in the near future. Sellers must also make plans in advance to prevent product shortages. I believe that as the epidemic eases, this situation will also ease.


e-Post Price Reduction

Recently, China Post released new news:


"Notice on lowering the transportation surcharge standards for some products to Europe and the United States", the notice pointed out that according to the recent changes in international transportation costs, it is planned to lower the transportation surcharge standards for some of the European and American routes for e-mail and international small parcels of air mail for contracted customers from 0:00 on July 7. Among them, the transportation surcharge for most routes to Europe will be cancelled, and the surcharge for the United States will be significantly reduced by 15-20 yuan/kg.


Officials said that the price reduction this time is significant, and the specific surcharge standards for each product need to be consulted with local postal agencies.

  


The editor remembers that not long ago, eYoubao announced a price increase. This sudden price reduction also caught the sellers off guard.


However, many sellers said that they were badly cheated by the time limit of ePacket this year, which led to a large number of refunds and serious losses. Even if the price was reduced, they dared not send ePacket again. But some sellers said that the time limit of ePacket is still good now, and the previous situation will not happen again.


The editor suggests that at present, sellers who ship their own goods have more choices and can consider price and timeliness comprehensively without putting all their eggs in one basket.
