European and American retailers are out of stock, and Christmas merchandise sales may be affected!

More than a dozen suppliers and retailers in the United States and Europe, ranging from toys to computer equipment, jointly predicted that due to global shipping backlogs, global container shortages and the closure of the southern Chinese port of Yantian, which will cause weeks-long delays in holiday inventory, shipments will be difficult to avoid, so that retailers will face the risk of large-scale stockouts of goods, which will also seriously affect Christmas sales.

The outbreak closed Yantian Port, Amazon’s first seaport in China , and although it reopened on June 24, container shortages still limited full activity, with global cargo ships overbooked, containers stranded in the wrong locations, and ports crowded. Large quantities of products piled up on factory floors, warehouse parking lots, seaport terminals, and railway yards .

The main risk facing retailers is the large-scale shortage of goods . There are many sellers who have the same experience. Major sellers have begun to think of urgent solutions. The problem of not being able to build inventory has caused a clothing seller to consider air transportation. An executive who sells high-end Christmas trees and other holiday decorations said that some of his orders from China may not be delivered in time before the start of sales in July, or even before Christmas.

The chief executive of a U.K.-based company has begun ordering more inventory, while other sellers have given up hope of restocking some computer equipment sold through Amazon and other retailers for the holiday season .

Retailers usually sell goods at the fastest speed, but the current high sales volume makes it impossible for them to significantly increase inventory levels. Some retailers have notified their investors and team members in advance that "some products may be out of stock in the near future. Although we don’t know what it is or when it will happen, it will definitely happen!"
