Temporarily prioritizing products coming into our fulfillment centers
We are closely monitoring the developments of COVID-19 and its impact on our customers, selling partners, and employees.
We are seeing increased online shopping, and as a result some products such as household staples and medical supplies are out of stock. With this in mind, we are temporarily prioritizing household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so that we can more quickly receive, restock, and deliver these products to customers.
For products other than these, we have temporarily disabled shipment creation. We are taking a similar approach with retail vendors.
This will be in effect today through April 5, 2020, and we will let you know once we resume regular operations. Shipments created before today will be received at fulfillment centers.
You can learn more about this on this Help page. Please note that Selling Partner Support does not have further guidance.
We understand this is a change to your business, and we did not take this decision lightly. We are working around the clock to increase capacity and yesterday announced that we are opening 100,000 new full- and part-time positions in our fulfillment centers across the US.
We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the above products for our customers.
Thank you for your patience, and for participating in FBA.

Amazon just put tons of businesses out of business. Destroyed thousands of jobs amidst a crisis. Horrible joke. Absolute joke. No warning. Expect major lawsuits coming from sellers who now will go bankrupt.

Wow, I am going to have crazy nightmares tonight.
and a million FBA vendors are going to wake up tomorrow to a bad dream.

Why is this snuck into the forums at 2:45am but not posted on the main seller central page and mass emailed to all sellers?
Image how many are going to put in but orders tomorrow to try and help keep in stock then see this. You didn’t think you have to check for sneaky announcements.

You declare that you care about FBA businesses, Do you understand how this impacts the businesses taking into consideration that you have your boot on our neck with the IPI score so Amazon can lower the logistic costs and deliver more profits?

Three of my stuff are on water, how about that?

We fulfill a lot of SKU’s in house, but we also have a large FBA component for products that are specifically targeted or do well with prime customers, so that’s definitely gonna hurt. We just completed a big restock shipment yesterday, but would have sent much more knowing they were gonna stop incoming shipments, so I imagine they snuck this in overnight as to not create a ‘couple of weeks before the black Friday rush’ situation. For a company that has such solid Q4 experience dealing with insane temporary spikes in order and fulfillment volumes, not anticipating the recent rush is definitely a proactive vs. reactive logistics failure on their part. We’ve known the crazy rush to buy staples would be coming for weeks, it was just a question of when it would happen. I had assumed Amazon would to see it coming too and be ready for it.
