Americans are going crazy! Trump is criticized, and logistics costs are skyrocketing...

As the epidemic spreads, the global cumulative confirmed cases have exceeded 3 million, reaching 3,002,876, and the cumulative deaths have exceeded 200,000.

The United States is the country with the most serious epidemic, and the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia is approaching one million!

Now, the American people are really panicking, even going crazy .

Recently, right-wing demonstrators in Texas, the United States, protested against the "stay-at-home order" and held up banners chanting "Arrest Bill Gates, defeat the Bill Gates virus, and overthrow the Bill Gates conspiracy theory."

It is understood that all this originated in 2015, when Bill Gates made a statement:

Some Americans call it a " conspiracy theory ", saying that it was a virus created by Bill Gates, who wanted to control the world and brought great disaster to Americans. In addition, Bill Gates has donated more than one billion US dollars for the research of the new crown vaccine . This incident has also been exaggerated into a "conspiracy theory". It has to be said that Americans have a bit of a strange imagination...

On the other hand, Trump’s old friend Piers Morgan called out to Trump:

In addition, he also wrote a column criticizing Trump's proposal to "inject disinfectant" to treat COVID-19.

At present, Trump has "unfollowed" this old friend.

Under such circumstances, I wonder what will happen if the United States proposes to restart the economy on Labor Day, May 1. After all, it is a good thing for us cross-border sellers if the United States resumes work and production as soon as possible.

It’s really hard for sellers...

At present, the global air transport capacity is tight, and under the strict customs inspection and tariffs, the cross-border logistics costs are also rising, and the impact on the United States is particularly serious.

Just a few days ago, US President Trump said that he would not approve an emergency loan to the Postal Service if the Postal Service did not immediately increase package delivery fees.

Subsequently, on April 25, China Post Express Logistics officially announced that China Post Express will adjust the sales price of its e-mail business to the United States from 00:00 on April 28, 2020. The specific adjustments are as follows:

This price increase will affect many cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, AliExpress, and eBay.  

Affected by the epidemic, people can only be quarantined at home. As a result, the "stay-at-home economy" came into being and became a sales explosion point.

At present, the customs is strictly controlling the export of epidemic prevention materials. However, in addition to epidemic prevention materials, "stay-at-home economy" products are also a great opportunity for cross-border e-commerce. However, with the current surge in logistics costs, FBA sellers must calculate the costs and consider sea and air transportation in combination with the situation to maximize profits.
