Yesterday, a Canadian trade union organized a strike of up to 155,000 people , involving a large number of port, airport and customs workers. The entry of goods into Canada has been severely delayed recently! The organization that initiated the strike is the Public Service Union of Canada, which is also the largest public servant union in Canada, with more than 230,000 members, mostly from taxation, insurance, customs and immigration management . The purpose of the strike is still to improve treatment and demand that the government provide a more relaxed working environment. Since the beginning of this year, there have been crazy parades all over the world, and almost all the European and American markets familiar to cross-border sellers have been involved. At the end of March, Germany saw its largest strike in 30 years. The strikers were directly employees of the airport freight and railway industries. At that time, all goods entering Germany had to be delayed. France also started a strike in early April. All French ports stopped operating from April 6th to 7th, and shipping companies such as Maersk could only wait at the port. Immediately afterwards, a temporary strike broke out at the Port of Los Angeles, the largest port on the west coast of the United States, and the terminal sent back all freight drivers who came to pick up goods. Every time a strike occurs, the goods that are still on the way are the ones that suffer. They are either stuck at the airport or at the dock waiting for the strike to end. Moreover, during the strike, the goods at the front end will not stop and will continue to pile up waiting to be processed. If the dock's processing capacity is already full, the piled-up goods can easily be stuck for several weeks. Port strikes in Europe and the United States are so frequent, and judging from the recent economic situation in Europe and the United States, the rising cost of living caused by inflation cannot be solved in a short time, so strikes will also occur frequently. How can sellers ensure that their goods are replenished to FBA warehouses in time to reduce the risk of delays? Especially now that Amazon still has storage restrictions and has implemented storage turnover rate surcharges and excess storage fees, the cost of stocking a large amount of goods in FBA warehouses is too high. I suggest that you can use overseas warehouses to make Plan B. Sellers who need UK overseas warehouse services can learn about our partner Conch Fulfilment. Conch Fulfilment is a relatively rare local first-hand warehouse . Unlike many domestic overseas warehouses, it is actually an agent that has been transferred multiple times. In terms of price and handling and follow-up capabilities , it is definitely not comparable to the agent overseas warehouse. In addition, the founder and business manager have worked for Amazon and have experience in operating stores, so the slogan is "British overseas warehouse that understands Amazon sellers better" The location of Conch Fulfilment's warehouse is also very advantageous. It is located in the heart of England - Northampton, within a 1-hour drive from major cities such as London, Birmingham, Coventry, Milton Keynes, Leicester and Amazon FBA warehouses. It has a great delivery time advantage. Their FBA dedicated car delivery service can guarantee delivery to the FBA warehouse and return POD the next day (except Scotland and remote areas), and 2C orders delivered to customers can also be guaranteed to be shipped out on the same day. In addition, Conch Fulfilment also provides special temperature-controlled warehousing services , maintaining the temperature within 5-25°C throughout the year. Many goods that have storage temperature requirements, such as cosmetics, skin care products, or meltable foods such as chocolate, can choose Conch Fulfilment's temperature-controlled warehousing services. Moreover, thanks to the core team members who have more than ten years of working experience in the UK, they have a very deep understanding of local laws, taxes, and business culture, and can better provide customized improvement suggestions based on customer needs to help customers avoid risks. However, there is no need to worry that they are difficult to contact in the UK. Conch Fulfilment has also set up a professional customer service team in China. The office is in Dalian, China, and it works remotely with the UK team. The mainland team can respond to customer questions and provide help in a timely manner. Currently, the UK is also one of the major markets in Europe and the United States. There has not been a large-scale strike this year. However, the inflation in the UK is comparable to that in Europe. The probability of a major strike is still very high. British sellers had better be prepared. |
