Increased liquidation! More than 10 FBA warehouses stopped receiving FedEx!

On July 21, it was reported that some sellers received FedEx notification that about 12 FBA warehouses have suspended receiving FedEx goods, and many logistics companies have recently switched to UPS.

It is understood that the reason for the suspension of receiving is serious warehouse explosion, such as FTW1, IND9, etc. The goods replenished by the seller in April have not been processed so far and can only be piled up in UPS warehouse. According to the forwarder's feedback, the average wait time for the goods to be put on the shelf is more than 20 days, and the longest waiting period reaches 45-50 days. The first shipping period plus the queue time for warehouse shelves make the seller's logistics timeliness unusually long.
