FBA warehouses will be forced to open for investigation! Amazon is in big trouble

This week started off really well for my brother-in-law. Foreign media reported that more than 20,000 Amazon warehouse employees have been diagnosed with COVID-19! And the number is increasing!

Just two days ago, we reported that warehouse workers gathered and blocked the door of my brother-in-law's house to protest in order to demand stronger epidemic prevention measures. Now the revelations of foreign media further prove that there are indeed problems with epidemic prevention in Amazon warehouses.

In fact, the United States has done a terrible job in epidemic prevention measures from bottom to top. Not only can the government not be relied upon, but Amazon will not implement too strict epidemic prevention measures in order to ensure the order processing capacity of its warehouses.

We sellers don’t care too much about this. As long as it doesn’t affect warehousing and order delivery, everything will be fine. However, Amazon has miscalculated the external pressure by doing this.

The California government announced yesterday that because Amazon has been refusing the state government's permission to enter the warehouse to supervise epidemic prevention work, it has taken Amazon to the Supreme Court and demanded that compulsory measures be taken against Amazon warehouses!

Although California has entered a state of emergency and closed most areas and businesses, delivery workers, including Amazon workers, are essential positions and are still working at a high intensity. However, Amazon has been refusing the state government to further understand the status of its epidemic prevention measures, and has not released data to the outside world in a timely manner. It has been trying to prevent and hide the real warehouse infection situation.

To this end, California prosecutors have collected a large amount of feedback from workers and asked the court to enforce emergency supervision and investigation of Amazon warehouses.

Several FBA warehouses in California are the favorites of sellers, including the popular warehouse ONT8, ONT9, LGB8 , etc. Many sellers would rather spend money to lock in these warehouses.

The emergency investigation in California is now affecting these warehouses (you can add my WeChat ID zyqmda to get a detailed list of FBA warehouses). It will definitely affect warehousing and order delivery , and I estimate that many sellers will have delays.

Now, it is estimated that it will take more than a month for sea transportation from sailing to warehousing. What’s more, the most critical thing is that the final delivery and warehousing and shelving are completely dependent on the mood of the local warehouse. If two sellers who send to the same warehouse sign for the goods one after the other, the shelf time may differ by one or two weeks.

So at this point in time, everyone should try their best to stabilize inventory and rankings, and wait for the warehouse delivery capacity to improve. Unfortunately, there was a news that was circulated everywhere in the circle of friends this morning - Google was down for nearly an hour , and its Youtube, Gmail, Google Search and other businesses were completely out of service and could not be accessed .

This is much more serious than Amazon's last outage. All users cannot access it directly. Moreover, Google is the world's largest underlying service provider. Its outage can bring down a large number of companies.

For example, Google Ads, an advertising alliance service provided by Google, is one of Amazon's partners. When we do display advertising, Amazon will display your products in some links on off-site websites , and some of these services are provided by Google Ads.

During the period of Google outage, there will definitely be problems with the display and charging of display ads. If there are sellers doing display ads, remember to check the situation in the backend.
