Cross-border people show off their annual leave, some companies give 23 days!

At the beginning of the new year, some Amazon sellers logged into the backend to find that their inventory capacity had been cut again. The inventory capacity of some accounts was directly reduced to the bottom. This made the sellers who were rushing to prepare goods before the Spring Festival very helpless, and they even began to consider moving up their holidays.

The Spring Festival holiday is coming, and cross-border people are showing off their annual leave

The Spring Festival is approaching, and when to have the holiday and how many days to have the holiday have become hot topics in the circle.

According to the 2023 Spring Festival holiday arrangement, the holiday will be adjusted from January 21 to 27, a total of 7 days. Work will resume on January 28 (Saturday) and January 29 (Sunday). Some companies closely follow the statutory holiday arrangement, with the annual holiday being 7 days, and taking a holiday on New Year's Eve. In the words of employees, "the company will feel bad if there is one more day."

However, most companies will tailor their policies to appropriately relax holiday time based on internal circumstances. People across the border are scrambling to post holiday notices:

——We will have a holiday after the goods on the 6th are delivered;

——From the 14th (Little New Year) to the 29th (the eighth day of the first lunar month), a total of 16 days;

——January 8 to 27;

——January 8 to January 27, 20 days;

——Our company has always had 22 days off, including New Year’s Day holiday;

——The 27th day of the lunar calendar is a holiday, and the 7th day of the first lunar month is a day of work;

According to feedback from the industry, most companies have 10 to 15 days off . In addition, e-commerce allows for mobile working, so many companies are willing to give employees two extra days off during the Spring Festival. As long as they manage the daily operations of the store, it will be fine. After all, watching the store during holidays has become an industry standard. There are even bosses who gave their employees 23 days off, which is nearly a month.

In addition to the company's long holidays, another type of operation that makes people envious is that the company allows people not to visit the store during the holidays. One seller said that his company is a small company and has a 16-day paid holiday during the Spring Festival, from January 14 to 29. The salary is paid as usual, and the key is that it is a pure holiday and there is no need to manage the store at all.

The fact that they don't have to take care of the store alone makes many operators envious. One operator said that the company has a 21-day holiday, but he still needs to take care of the store's affairs, and he is very eager for this kind of holiday in the full sense. "I'm so envious. Not having to manage the store is a real holiday. I have been in the industry for several years and have to look after the store every day. It feels like I have never had a real rest." Another operator also sighed.

There is no harm without comparison. Last week, a cross-border company in Guangzhou issued a notice of Spring Festival holidays, which will be from January 21 (Saturday) to January 25 (Wednesday), a total of 5 days.

As soon as the notice was released, the company's employees were very dissatisfied. "Is there any company worse than ours? Since the one-day-off policy was implemented, the number of holidays is pitiful. We only have five days off for the Spring Festival, and we have to make up for it on Sunday. We have to go back to work on the fourth day of the New Year. It takes two days to travel back and forth, and we only have three days off. It's too hard for workers."

And upstream of the industrial chain, factories close for holidays even earlier.

Some sellers have found that some suppliers have started their holidays on January 1 and will not return to work until February 1. Many suppliers have their holidays around this time, and logistics will slow down as the year-end approaches. Sellers need to seize these few days to prepare stocks and reserve packaging materials as soon as possible.

In addition, some Amazon sellers reminded their peers to fill in the FBA shipping tracking number, check whether the store’s credit card has expired, and check the mobile phone number and verification app for two-step authentication before the Spring Festival holiday .

There may be a wave of friends who are going to start their annual vacation these days. Amazon has reduced its storage capacity, and coupled with the impact of the snowstorm in the United States, sellers are facing certain challenges in shipping and terminal delivery. Some people complained: "There is nothing to do without a holiday!"

Amazon reduces its storage capacity again. Sellers: Are we not allowed to do this anymore?

Yesterday, many sellers found that Amazon has reduced its storage capacity again. In the new year, the platform is still continuing the familiar operation!

According to their respective situations, the proportion of sellers whose storage capacity was reduced varies. Some sellers had their storage capacity reduced by several thousand, while some sellers said that their storage capacity was reduced from 25,000 to more than 3,000.

Regardless of the amount of reduction, adjusting the storage capacity at the time when sellers are preparing for the end of the year has caused collective complaints. One seller was very helpless: " The storage capacity has been reduced again, when can it be released ? " Another colleague bluntly said: " Amazon has reduced the storage capacity again, so sellers can't do it ? "

In fact, Amazon has been cutting its storage capacity almost every week recently, sometimes even twice a week. The frequent adjustments to Amazon’s storage capacity policy have left some sellers at a loss as to how to start shipping.

A seller said that Amazon has been cutting its inventory capacity every week in the past month. It used to have over 9,000 but now it has only over 2,000, and it is over capacity. Normal FBA cannot create shipments. Since the shipment is urgent and Amazon has limited the number of replenishment, how should the next shipment be shipped?

It is indeed difficult for sellers to have no storage capacity and encounter urgent replenishment. Experienced people said that in this case, some Amazon stores have given storage capacity, and they should establish some shipment plans in time to prepare for emergencies. If you want to put new products on the shelves on time, it is best to create a shipment plan in advance.

The peak season has passed, and Amazon sellers' orders have fallen recently. Some peers said that the recent order volume is so large that even dogs can shake their heads, but Amazon's storage capacity continues to shrink. An old seller said that after the peak season, Amazon will gradually release its storage capacity, and the release time may be just around the corner.

Amazon's storage capacity policy has constrained sellers' shipments, and the snowstorm currently being experienced in the United States is affecting sellers' final delivery. Logistics problems are piling up!

It is reported that a new round of winter storm is passing through the western, Midwestern and Gulf of Mexico United States. The impact of this round of storm will extend from Texas to Louisiana, forming strong winds and tornado weather, and will gradually escalate in the afternoon of the 1st. The Midwest may experience blizzards on the 2nd and 3rd.

Winter storms in many parts of the United States have caused many deaths, especially in Buffalo, western New York. It is estimated that the number of casualties in Buffalo has exceeded 30. Most stores in Buffalo have closed down, and some people have spontaneously joined the rescue operation. Supermarkets, department stores, pharmacies, gas stations and convenience stores have not been spared. The 0 yuan purchase mode has started again! Traffic in Buffalo and surrounding areas has also been paralyzed.

Not only in Buffalo, New York, but also in the United States, this severe storm has brought great impact on the transportation of the whole country, causing traffic paralysis in many states. At present, the blizzard has swept across 48 states in the continental United States. With the heavy snowfall, a large number of flights in the United States have been forced to cancel and delay, and this situation is still continuing.

After the snowstorm, the thick snow will also cause traffic obstructions, and some parts of the United States have issued travel bans. Next, as the temperature rises, a large amount of melted ice and ice blocks the flow of water, which is expected to cause flooding.

The snowstorm and the upcoming floods have severely disrupted transportation in the United States, which is bound to affect the final delivery of cross-border sellers. Due to the obstruction of logistics, some sellers have begun to take a break.
