FBA inventory was stolen in large quantities! Sudden changes in Shenzhen affected shipments

In the past two days, the local police in the United States uncovered a major case, and thousands of stolen Amazon shipments were recovered, and the plot was quite ups and downs.

First, around December 30th, local time, the Oklahoma police received a report that hundreds of Amazon packages were abandoned on a wasteland near an intersection. When the police arrived at the scene, they found more than 600 Amazon packages scattered around. This obviously involved a serious theft or dereliction of duty, but the police did not have more clues about the suspect.

Yesterday, local police held a press conference and announced that they found an envelope among more than 600 scattered goods. Based on the name and address on the envelope, the police locked onto and broke into a private house. The result was shocking: the entire house was filled with piles of unopened Amazon shipments.

In the closets, attics, detached garages and even underground shelters of this house, all these Amazon goods are bundled together and waiting to be delivered. There are also some scattered, unpacked or half-opened Amazon boxes on the table in the living room and kitchen. The police are still counting the specific goods and items involved in the case, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least more than 6,000 pieces. And based on the house information and the delivery vehicle information provided by Amazon, the police have arrested 3 suspects.

According to Amazon, this is a very large gang with many packages involved. The thousands of packages found so far are just the tip of the iceberg of stolen packages from Amazon FBA warehouses. Since Black Friday, Amazon has experienced a large number of lost and stolen goods, and many of the products involved are very valuable. In the stolen goods den busted by the police, there was a product worth more than $15,000.

The people arrested so far are two drivers of a third-party freight platform and a truck owner. However, if you want to do such a big thing, you can't just rely on these three people outside. There must be someone inside the FBA warehouse, and the level may be not low.

This case is still under investigation, and Amazon has also stated that it wants to uncover the entire criminal gang. If sellers encounter customer complaints about not receiving packages recently, they can tell them about this problem. Anyway, Amazon will automatically compensate if FBA shipments are lost during delivery. Everyone should pay attention to the delivery and receipt of their orders to prevent official compensation for missed shipments.

There was another bad thing today. An epidemic broke out in Shenzhen, and many office buildings and industrial parks where sellers gathered began collective nucleic acid tests.

Today, official media reported that two local COVID-19 cases suddenly occurred in Shenzhen, involving many close contacts.

Longgang District, the center of the epidemic, is one of the well-known cross-border industrial parks in Shenzhen. After the positive cases broke out, a large number of cross-border companies located here were arranged to do nucleic acid tests. Many office buildings and streets issued emergency nucleic acid notices, requiring all personnel in the park to complete nucleic acid tests before leaving.

There were long queues at various nucleic acid testing points.

Moreover, Shenzhen is a very important export city for foreign trade products. Many sellers have to ship their goods through Shenzhen. Now the whole of Shenzhen has begun to be on high alert. Some sellers and freight forwarders have received suggestions to work from home. Logistics outbound will inevitably be affected. Everyone has to quickly plan to ship goods through other ports before the New Year!

Fortunately, Shenzhen responded very quickly this time, and no further news has been spread. Let us continue to pay attention and help Shenzhen sellers overcome this difficulty!
