Amazon warehouses are seriously overwhelmed, sellers: listing products on shelves is too slow!

Not only is the US station facing serious overcapacity, but Europe is also facing large-scale overcapacity. In addition, China Airlines has been affected by the outbreak of the crew cluster and has cancelled its second-leg capacity on the US route, and will suspend flights on a large scale.

DPD warehouse in the UK is seriously overwhelmed

Some sellers said they had just received the latest notice from the freight forwarder, indicating that due to Amazon's warehouse scheduling, the UK DPD warehouse was seriously overwhelmed. At present, DPD has reduced the pickup of goods . There is a serious shortage of DPD vehicles in the UK. Goods sent to the UK may be delayed in customs clearance, and pickup and delivery will also be affected to a certain extent .

Some sellers also said that their goods had been airlifted from the UK for 25 days but were still not on the shelves , which was really a headache. It seems that the third wave of the epidemic in Europe, ship blockages, Easter, strikes and other multiple blows have indeed made logistics to Europe even worse.

In addition, the editor saw in the circle of friends that some freight forwarders reported that the warehouse of FTW1 in the United States was seriously overwhelmed recently . The delivery team has been lined up on the highway, the waiting time for unloading has also been extended , and some appointments have been postponed to a week later . Friends who have recently sent FTW1 warehouses should be prepared for countermeasures .

China Airlines cancels second-leg capacity on US routes and will suspend flights on a large scale

Not only has the warehouse explosion continued, but also the prices of air and sea freight have been rising. Previously, sellers said that the price of air delivery has exceeded the 80 mark, and the price of sea container has soared 94% in the past five months.

The epidemic may be one of the reasons for the increase in logistics prices. According to the latest news from Taiwan's China Airlines, due to the cluster infection of the crew, it will start to cancel a large number of second-leg capacity on the US route next week , only retaining some cargo planes at LAX ORD, and canceling all other passenger and cargo planes.

It is reported that China Airlines currently has 21 cargo aircraft and 47 wide-body cargo-carrying passenger aircraft. This shows the strength of its aviation team. Once the operation is suspended, it is likely to affect the transportation of a large number of materials and delay logistics.

Industry insiders predict that the impact of China Airlines' suspension of flights this time will most likely exceed that of Cathay Pacific's previous suspension of flights . The sudden loss of effective capacity is likely to affect the price of the air freight market and even affect the national freight market.

Netizen Logistics Theater

A number of netizens also expressed their opinions on logistics prices :

Next week’s air transport to the US is expected to be very exciting.

It seems that the freight rate that fell by two or three dollars today has gone back up again .

Day by day, air freight prices are more exciting than stocks .

I really can't bear the shipping costs anymore. I can't do business anymore .

I am used to hurting each other and am immune to all poisons.

With rising prices of raw materials , rising freight rates and falling exchange rates , foreign trade is becoming increasingly difficult .

Faced with the ups and downs of logistics prices, how should sellers arrange shipments to minimize costs?
