01 WHATS HAPPENING NOW?
Amazon is temporarily prioritizing
household staples, medical supplies,
and other high-demand products
coming into their fulfillment centres in
USA and Europe
AMAZON: THE CURRENT CLIMATE
02 WHY?
To more quickly receive, restock, and
deliver these products to customers
03 HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST?
As of now, Amazon states that this will
end April 5th
04
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
FOR FBA SELLERS?
Businesses selling non-essential
products need to move to fulfilling on
their own, or through 3rd parties
Amazon is ceasing shipping of all
non-essential / non-medical products
RUMOUR:
REAL VS RUMOUR:
Amazon Suspensions
Amazon has temporarily suspended new “non-essential” shipments into its
fulfillment centres across the US and Europe until April 5th, not the entire program
This suspension only affects shipping from sellers to Amazon warehouses, it does NOT
affect the last-mile to customers
Products already at Amazon warehouses or en route will still be shipped out
Amazon sellers can still sell on Amazon by using independent warehouses
REAL:
ALTERNATIVES TO FBA(FULFILLMENT
BY AMAZON)
FULFILLMENT BY MERCHANT (FBM)
BENEFITS
Cost Efficiency - Save money by not paying
Amazon storage fees
Management - With FBM you are in full control of
managing your inventory and shipping as you see
fit, instead of following Amazon policies
Stability - Sudden Amazon policy changes are less
likely to affect you if you are managing inventory
and fulfillment from your end
FULFILL SHIPMENTS ON YOUR OWN OR THROUGH A 3RD PARTY.
EASILY CONVERT FBA TO FBM ACCOUNT:
1) Log into Seller Central and select Manage FBA
Inventory from the Inventory drop-down menu.
2) Locate the SKUs that need to be switched, open the
drop-down menu next to each item and select Change to
Fulfilled by Merchant.
3) Once you’re redirected to the Convert to ‘Fulfilled by
Merchant’ page, simply click the Convert
4) Conversions to FBM are typically made within
24-hours.
Necessity categories still accepted by Amazon
warehouses:
- Baby
- Health & Household
- Beauty & Personal CarE
- Grocery
- Industrial & Scientific
- Pet Supplies
