Attention! Amazon warehouse is about to stop receiving goods!

Since last week, the news that Amazon warehouses will not accept shipments for a long time has been widely circulated in the industry. The incident started when a seller received the following prompt when creating a shipment in the background↓

Amazon said that due to high demand for warehousing and limited appointment slots, it will temporarily be unable to accept sellers' products from December 15 to December 31.

Amazon did this mainly to cope with the order processing and delivery requirements during the Christmas shopping peak season. Currently, Amazon warehouses are already overloaded and cannot handle more goods entering the warehouse.

This news has aroused concerns among many Amazon sellers, who have consulted Amazon's customer service about the problem described in the picture.

Customer Service A: "Amazon has not officially issued any notice to stop accepting goods."

Customer Service B: " If the Amazon system pops up this prompt on the shipping interface, then this prompt shall prevail."

Customer Service C: "If you encounter this problem, you can try again after a while."

Three Amazon customer service representatives gave three different answers, which confused everyone. As far as this matter is concerned, Amazon has not yet issued any announcement or notification information related to it.

However, an Amazon freight account manager responded that all Amazon facilities will continue to receive goods normally from December 15 to December 31. If there is a backlog of goods, they will transfer the goods to other distribution centers or operation centers.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much about this issue. As long as Amazon does not officially notify you to stop accepting goods, the yellow prompt that appears randomly in the background cannot be regarded as a unified action by Amazon.

In addition, warehouses such as RDU2, LAN2, HGR2, AVP1, RMN3, SWF2, ORF2, ILG1, FWA4, ORF2, MQJ1, ABE4, CLT2, DET1, DET2, IAH3, IND9, RFD2, RDU4, SWF2, TEB9, and XLX6 all have warehouse overflows to varying degrees, and most batches are delayed by 1-2 weeks.

• Prepare stocks in advance: Sellers need to make stocking plans in advance and try to complete the warehousing of goods before December 15 to ensure that the goods can be put on the shelves for sale in time.

  
  

  
  

• Use a third-party overseas warehouse : If the goods fail to enter the warehouse in time, you can consider transferring the goods to a third-party overseas warehouse for storage and shipment to ensure timely processing and delivery of the order.

  
  

  
  

• Coordinate with Amazon customer service: Maintain good communication with Amazon customer service, try to coordinate the safe entry of goods into the warehouse, and reduce the impact on sales.
