Stay vigilant丨The wildfires in the United States are difficult to extinguish, the riots cannot be controlled, the supply of truck drivers exceeds supply, and the ports are crowded! Back-end logistics depends on luck!
Coupled with the recent commotion, the shortage of truck drivers and port congestion, the delivery pressure on the last voyage in the United States has reached its peak, and delivery delays have become more and more serious. Some sellers even stated that they had no inventory until September due to the slow delivery of the last shipment. .
Some sellers also reported that the final delivery speed of US FBA is very slow, and the goods cannot be put into the warehouse in time 20-30 days after arriving in the US. After the Amazon package is signed, the shelf speed is still in the "hit rate" state.
The riots continue and the final logistics delivery is indefinite
The US police violently enforced the law, kneeling to death on the neck of an African-American Freud, triggering an anti-racist protest march in American society, but the march has not completely passed.

In addition to Portland, other cities in the United States are also rioting. Related protests occurred in Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Florida, Kentucky, etc.
The riots continue, the situation is out of control, and the order is bound to appear chaotic. Then you can imagine the situation of logistics delivery. When the final logistics returns to normal, this question may be left for time to answer.
Mountain fires are difficult to extinguish, and logistics delivery is affected
Wildfires in the western United States continued to raging on the 8th, seriously threatening the safety of the three states of California, Oregon and Washington on the west coast.
On September 10, local time, the California State Forestry and Fire Department stated that the land area hit by California wildfires has exceeded 12,500 square kilometers, and 12 people were killed in the fire.
According to reports, an unprecedented large-scale wildfire in Oregon caused hundreds of houses to collapse, causing loss of personnel and property. This may be the heaviest in the state’s history; more than 300,000 acres of land were burned and at least 5 towns were destroyed. To severe damage, large-scale evacuation is underway.

Fire engulfed forests in Butte County, California, USA
Earlier reports pointed out that cities and towns including Detroit, Blue River, Vinda, Phoenix, and Tarrent were severely damaged and hundreds of houses collapsed. In addition, hundreds of high temperature records in the western United States may be broken this weekend.
In addition to wildfires that may affect warehouses in their state, the driver ultimately responsible for the delivery is also very likely to refuse delivery on the grounds of high temperature. At that time, the final delay will be inevitable.

There is a shortage of truck drivers and port congestion. Although the holiday peak season in the United States has not yet arrived, sellers are still working hard to prepare for the shopping months in November and December. The momentum of the peak freight season has begun to show, and port congestion has become more and more serious.
With the increase in shipping volume, the transportation space is now larger and larger, the trailers are tight, the dumping of containers is also serious, and the sea freight is also increasing. It is understood that many of Amazon's products are now backlogged in Los Angeles warehouses, and the processing center is overloaded.
A person familiar with the matter said that due to the large amount of sea cargo being shipped to Los Angeles, the port and terminal are crowded, and the demand of truck drivers exceeds the demand. Due to the large quantity of goods and few drivers, the current supply and demand relationship of Los Angeles trucks in the United States is extremely imbalanced. Freight rates for long-distance trucks have soared to the highest level in history in August.
To make matters worse, the American Trucking Association (ATA)’s Intermodal Automobile Carriers Chamber (IMCC) filed a lawsuit against foreign shipping companies for “illegal actions”. Otherwise, the truck driver will plan a strike.

The final delivery depends on luck
Recently, the situation in the United States is indeed very serious, especially in the West.
Currently, UPS and FedEx in Los Angeles are basically in an explosive state. Due to the shortage of personnel for the epidemic, the capacity of trucks is relatively short. Coupled with the growth of e-commerce orders, the delivery of the entire terminal is under tension. Whether it is UPS, FedEx or the entire overseas warehouse, the entire delivery delay is inevitable.
In addition, since September 7 is Labor Day in the United States, September 5 to September 7 is a holiday. The freight forwarder issued a notice stating that all terminals were closed and containers could not be towed or returned. Normal orders will resume on Tuesday.
UPS is on vacation. After empty goods are returned to the warehouse, they cannot be shipped out normally. Except for the empty shuttle driver, the rest of the US warehouse employees are on vacation. They did not resume work until Tuesday.
In this case, the back-end logistics in the United States continues to be under pressure, and some sellers lament: "The signing of goods in the United States now depends on luck."
