Snowstorm blocks roads, 75 Amazon FBA warehouses closed, what do you need to do?

According to CNN, winter storms have hit many states in the United States in recent days, killing at least 33 people, and millions of homes and businesses have suffered continuous power outages. Water and fuel supplies have also been affected. Homes in some parts of Texas have been without power for more than 30 hours in a row, and daily life has been severely affected.

At present, the power outage problem has been alleviated, but the problems caused by the storm are still continuing. Supermarket shelves in many places in Texas have been emptied, and some people have shifted their shopping needs online. An Amazon seller said that "sales have improved with heavy snow."

According to the latest feedback from logistics providers, many FBA warehouses have been closed due to road closures caused by heavy snow in the United States. It is expected that receiving goods will not be resumed until the end of February. More than 70 warehouses are involved. The figure below is a list of some closed warehouses.

In addition, some other Amazon warehouses have also reduced their unloading volume, and most scheduled deliveries have been postponed for 1-3 weeks. After the Spring Festival holiday, many sellers have run out of stock. When it comes to emergency replenishment, sellers need to avoid these temporarily closed warehouses.

In addition, Amazon also notified the order delivery status during the snowstorm.

Amazon has made it clear that the impact of Blizzard is not only on sellers, but also on Amazon and the domestic delivery system in the United States!!!

This is what we sellers need to care about!!!

One more thing to remember is the unlimited reasons for returns from American buyers and Amazon’s unlimited return policy!!!

At present, although the first-leg logistics from China to the United States has improved, it is still in a tense state and it is difficult to get a box. This is definitely not the right time to pursue an uncertain opportunity to create a hit product, at least not for most ordinary sellers!

Even if the goods arrive in the United States smoothly, whether they can be put into the warehouse and put on the shelves normally, and whether they can be delivered normally after being put on the shelves, these are all unknowns.

Moreover, Blizzard cannot last too long. It will be over in the blink of an eye. How long is the time window left for sellers?

Anyone who wants to promote the rare opportunity of a hit product at this time is definitely trying to attract attention and watch the fun.

Amazon is not a casino. Sellers should be more responsible for their own selling careers. Don’t let the failure of a hit product ruin your vitality!

You should chase after hot-selling products, but you also have to get used to the days without them and be a normal seller who gets many orders a day.

The right way is to focus on selecting new models, optimizing old models and screening and building the supply chain.
