Amazon is a relatively popular e-commerce platform abroad. Many domestic sellers have opened stores on Amazon. I believe many sellers want to know whether Amazon Logistics will have a holiday during the Spring Festival. Today, the editor will take you to learn more about Amazon Logistics’ policies regarding the Spring Festival holiday.
First, can Amazon Logistics deliver goods normally during the Chinese Spring Festival?
1. What is different from before is that now Amazon can deliver goods normally during the Spring Festival. Merchants should be careful and plan ahead when handling shipments. It is necessary to know in advance the time when major domestic logistics companies will stop shipping before the new year and when they will resume shipping after the new year. It is necessary to plan well and ensure that FBA has sufficient inventory. If the inventory quantity is insufficient, a batch of goods must be sent to the overseas warehouse in advance.
2. For those self-delivered orders, you can temporarily use virtual tracking numbers to solve the problem. This must not affect the store’s delivery performance. Use the virtual tracking number to upload it first, and wait until the logistics gets back to work after the Spring Festival before shipping it out. This is mainly done to ensure delivery time. When the order quantity is not large, you can choose expedited and other logistics methods to avoid delayed arrival.
3. If you want to take a complete rest during the Spring Festival, the store can be temporarily set to vacation mode. We know that cross-border platforms in Southeast Asia will have the option of vacation mode. As long as the vacation mode is turned on, the platform will not push traffic to the store. There will be no orders. The disadvantage of this is that the store will have no orders for a period of time, but the merchant can have a good New Year. You can also enable product pre-sale mode. Even if the pre-sale products are shipped late, the store indicators will not be affected.
Second, what should I do if the goods cannot be shipped?
1. If the goods cannot be shipped normally during the Spring Festival, the merchant can log in to the backend and adjust the product status to holiday mode, that is, change the product status to holiday mode. Not for sale. In this way, customers cannot place orders. After waiting for work to resume after the holidays, go to the backend and adjust the product status to “on sale” so that normal store operations can be resumed.
2. Even if Amazon can still deliver goods normally during the Chinese New Year, seller friends should not ignore an important issue, that is, the logistics timeliness during the Chinese New Year may be longer than usual. If a merchant wants to deliver goods during the Spring Festival, then Yiding must adjust the platform’s stocking time and transportation time to try to avoid delayed delivery.
The above is a summary of Amazon Logistics’ Spring Festival holiday policy. Dear sellers, you should decide whether to sell goods as usual during the Spring Festival based on your actual situation. It is recommended that if you want to increase your order volume while other stores are closed during the Chinese New Year period, you may wish to continue selling products.
