Amazon is suspending all shipments other than medical supplies, household staples and other high-demand products to its warehouses until April 5.
- Amazon told sellers and vendors on Tuesday that it was suspending shipments of all nonessential products to its warehouses to deal with the increased workloads following the coronavirus outbreak.
- Amazon is now prioritizing medical supplies, household staples, and other high-demand products to its warehouses until April 5.
- The change only affects shipments to Amazon’s warehouses, not the last-mile deliveries to consumers.
- “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,” the message read.
“We are seeing increased online shopping, and as a result some products such as household staples and medical supplies are out of stock,” the email obtained by Business Insider said. “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.”
