Delay warning! Multiple FBA warehouses are overwhelmed, and FedEx announces surcharge price increase

According to data from Forest Logistics , the current FBA delivery situation in the United States remains severe due to the global spread of the epidemic .

Some sellers said that in addition to being unable to pick up goods and having long delivery queues, many FBA warehouses no longer provide stamped PODs.

ONT8 and other FBA warehouses are out of stock

The global epidemic continues to spread, and Amazon FBA warehouses have been affected . The situation in Southern California in the western United States is not optimistic. Warehouses such as ONT8, LAX9, and LGB8 have long waiting times. In particular, ONT8, which has been out of stock several times, has an estimated waiting time of more than 15 hours , and the appointment time is scheduled until late June.

In addition, warehouses SBD2 and SBD3 are out of stock, and their reservations have been scheduled until July. Warehouses such as ONT8 and LGB8 have also stated that they will no longer accept oversized and overweight goods.

The impact of the warehouse explosion in Chicago, USA should not be underestimated. In addition to the inability to pick up containers due to the shortage of truck frames , the delivery time for drivers such as MDW and IND is relatively long, up to 8-10 hours, which makes people feel difficult!

Some sellers also said that the products sent to DTM2 in Germany have not been put on the shelves for a long time . It is reported that DTM2 and ERO5 are seriously overstocked and the time to put them on the shelves is very slow. In addition, it is difficult to make an appointment for the delivery time of multiple warehouses, and customers have been advised to change their delivery addresses.

In addition, several Amazon FBA warehouses have stated that they will not provide stamped PODs (Proof of Delivery). Warehouses such as ONT8, LAX9, LGB8, GYR3, IND4, IND5, IND9, FTW1, etc. no longer provide stamped PODs. Sellers should pay special attention to this, otherwise they will be at a loss as to what to do.

FedEx announces surcharge increase starting June 21

According to foreign media reports, FedE has started a new round of price increases, announcing that surcharges will increase starting June 21. The new fees include additional operating fees, peak surcharges and residential delivery fees. All surcharges will take effect from June 21, 2021.

This means that the peak season surcharge is likely to have become a year-round phenomenon. Previously, FedEx announced an emergency suspension of truck services, and some sellers said they had received an email notifying them of the suspension of pickups, which stated that " starting June 14, 2021, FedEx will take specific actions against customers to control their capacity and avoid problems such as backlogs of shipments. "

Perhaps due to the notice, FedEx's stock price also fell 1.05% to $292.99. Industry insiders said that FedEx's suspension of truck services and the increase in surcharges are all aimed at pricing as quickly as possible and obtaining higher profits, and relevant sellers should pay close attention.
