Good news! Amazon waives long-term storage fees for FBA in 7 more countries!

Amazon has been making trouble recently! First, they kept removing reviews, and the reviews on sellers were not as fast as they were! Secondly, they conducted the entry review, using various methods such as postcard address check and video verification! This made the sellers look depressed!

However, today there is finally good news from Amazon!

Amazon FBA sellers have been hit hard by the company’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Recently, Amazon announced that it will waive long-term storage fees for FBA during the settlement cycle on May 15. This will apply across the EU to inventory stored in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic.

The new policy comes on top of Amazon's waiver of fees for heavy items (over 15 kilograms) and monthly storage fees in France and Italy in April, where it stopped accepting all but essential orders or halted shipments entirely.

Amazon notified as follows:

It is understood that Amazon resumed accepting orders from Israel last Friday as lockdown restrictions in Israel and around the world began to ease.

In addition to Amazon, British retailer Next has also started accepting orders from Israel after its website was closed for weeks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said all lockdown restrictions could be lifted by mid-June.

It is reported that on March 22, Amazon suspended most of the goods shipped to Israel and began to focus on necessities for American and European customers. This is a blow to both the Israeli Post and consumers. In addition, Amazon’s free delivery service to Israel for orders over $49, which began in November 2019, has also been suspended.

Amazon Israel officially went online on September 22, 2019, and began providing local delivery services to customers from multiple brands in Israel.

Amazon offers a local delivery program for professional sellers in Israel, with a standard shipping time of 3 to 5 days, or even faster. It also encourages potential sellers to participate in the local delivery program, "Participate in the local delivery program to expand your business and increase sales without charging additional selling fees."
