Amazon is facing capacity issues at some West Coast facilities due to increased demand, resulting in longer processing times for seller inventory. The company is rerouting shipments and has extended shipment windows to alleviate these constraints. To prepare for the 2024 peak season, Amazon has urged sellers to bring products in earlier, as inefficiencies in its cross-docking network are causing delays. Amazon is also offering reduced fees for sellers shipping to locations with more space available and advises sellers to maintain emergency inventory at third-party logistics sites to avoid delays.
