Stop accepting goods! Just now, Amazon officially announced...

After enduring Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday, Christmas is approaching. The sellers are actively preparing stocks to boost sales, but they were unexpectedly "outshined" by a wave of stunning operations by their brother-in-law.

Today, many sellers reported receiving an email from Amazon:

The email content is as follows:

From the content of the email, we can see that Amazon will stop receiving goods from December 3rd and ask third-party sellers to wait until January next year to restock!

As soon as this news came out, the sellers were furious:

Xiaozhi was so scared that he quickly looked at the calendar. Today was December 10th, right? Then why did Amazon say that it had stopped delivering goods to the warehouse on the 3rd?

For this reason, many sellers initially thought it was fake news, but after seeing the official notification in the background, some sellers believed it.

Of course, there are still many sellers who don’t believe it, so they ask customer service themselves:

From what the customer service said, it can be seen that the news that Amazon stopped receiving goods from December 3 is indeed true .

However, some sellers asked customer service and got different answers:

According to customer service, parcels arriving after December 3 will only be signed for and will not be put on the shelves .

There are also sellers who opened a case with customer service, and they were told that they would receive the product and put it in the Amazon warehouse, but would not put it on the shelves, regardless of whether it was shipped by air or sea. However, there are rare cases where the warehouse is not in a hurry to put it on the shelves for you.

Faced with all these rumors flying around, which one is reliable?

In addition, Pepe summarized the meaning of customer service for your reference:

Shipments created before the 3rd can be signed for and put on the shelves normally;

Shipments created after the 3rd can be signed for, but will not be put on the shelves.

In addition to the content of this notice, what made the sellers angry was that the policy was clearly implemented on December 3rd, so why was the news notified to the sellers until December 9th?

In response to this, an Amazon customer service representative said that such a notice had been issued on October 21 .

Some sellers decisively checked the information on October 21st, and it was there, but such a small title was really speechless...

What the customer service meant was that the platform had issued a not-so-clear announcement in advance to warn of this matter, but the "busy" sellers didn't pay attention.

Such an announcement was met with crazy complaints from Amazon sellers:

Why did the brother-in-law do this? Some sellers speculated:

My brother-in-law wants everyone to sell out their inventory and go into holiday mode. He knows that everyone has been abused by him for another year, so he wants everyone to take a rest early!

But, I haven’t made any money yet, how am I going to spend the New Year…

The answer to this question still needs to be found from the customer service.

From the reply received from customer service, we can see that the reason why Amazon did this is because the warehouse is currently seriously overwhelmed.

It seems that, whether due to staff shortages or warehouse management issues, Amazon is indeed facing serious order processing problems. Many Cyber ​​Monday and Black Friday orders have not even been shipped. If it continues to welcome the Christmas season in this state, it will definitely collapse.

Therefore, I think that Amazon’s announcement this time is to inform third-party sellers that Amazon will put more energy and warehouse staff on processing and shipping Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday orders. At this time, the shipments entering the warehouse will be seriously delayed, and it is recommended that everyone restock in January.

Since Amazon's notice is mainly to remind sellers that goods not received by December 3 will not be available for holiday sales, and it is recommended that sellers delay restocking until January, then sellers can still ship goods now, and the platform will sign for them, but the listing will be delayed. Given that Amazon's warehousing delays are very serious, it is recommended that sellers postpone shipment if they have sufficient inventory.

In addition, what emergency measures are there if the Amazon warehouse stops receiving goods?

Tips:

This matter has been going on for a whole morning. I believe Amazon will come up with relevant solutions later. Sellers, please don’t get angry. In addition, as of press time, Amazon’s investment manager has also spoken out, which should be more credible. You can refer to it.
