AMZ123 learned that on December 6, Amazon made changes to sales fees and a series of logistics fees, although the logistics distribution fees and clothing sales fees were reduced, but also added warehousing configuration service fees, low-volume inventory fees, and the overall average cost of each item sold is expected to increase by 0$15. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the industry: while many sellers called the operating costs almost every year, many sellers speculated that Amazon's reduction in sales commissions for clothing was mainly due to the impact of Temu's low prices. However, some sellers said that the reason why Temu can achieve such a low price is inseparable from a number of subsidy policies at the beginning of its launch, and with the cancellation of the subsidy policy, the platform's attractiveness to sellers will gradually weaken. A few days ago, AMZ123 learned that after charging a 5% service fee, which was regarded as a "signal to charge commissions", a recent development of Temu made sellers speculate that it had a trend of "charging storage fees". 
amz123 learned that recently, a seller broke the news on social platforms, and it was found when checking the billtemu deducts a fee called the "Warehousing Integrated Service Fee". Based on this, the seller speculated that Temu's subsidy bonus period has begun to gradually fade, or storage fees will be charged, which will affect the seller's cost. 
AMZ123 learned that this is not the first time that the "comprehensive warehousing service fee" has appeared in the field of vision of Temu sellers. In May this year, a seller revealed that a "Paid Pass Collection Business Service Agreement" appeared in the background of Temu, which was mentioned"One-stop warehousing comprehensive service fee"., and then one appeared on the seller pageWarehousing Services Bill
At the time when the seller broke the news, many sellers speculated that TEMU would charge storage fees and inventory overdue fees. However, a source later revealed that Temu's buyers said that this function is to properly solve the "logistics cost payment", not to collect storage fees. At present, TEMU has not issued an official announcement on the collection of storage fees and other fees, but some industry insiders said:Generally speaking, the subsidies and dividends given by the new platform in the early stage of launch will basically disappear with the development and expansion of the platform. As we all know, since its launch in September last year, temu has attracted a large number of sellers to enter the game by virtue of subsidy policies such as free shipping, free commissions, and free advertising fees. However, with the expansion of the platform overseas, the continuous low-price subsidies and money-burning marketing seem to be somewhat unsustainableSome of the costs of the original subsidy waiver are gradually returning to temu sellers:
First of allShipping:From December 12, 2022, half of the domestic shipping cost of VMI will be borne by the merchant and the platform, which will be deducted from the settlement amount;
And then there's"Commission-like" service fee:From October 2023, temu has the right to charge a service fee of 5% of the actual amount paid by the user under the store order excluding tax (including credit).
In the case that the supply price has been pressed to the extreme, these adjustments are undoubtedly worse for Temu sellers. However, the current rumors of charging storage fees have not been officially verified, and it remains to be seen how Temu will adjust next in the future. For cross-border sellers, in addition to the upcoming operating costs, the recent logistics situation is obviously the most difficult hurdle to overcome. 
amz123 learned that recently, a seller broke the newsAmazon's many popular warehouses in the West of the United States suddenly burst their warehouses, and there were situations such as appointments being pushed, appointments being postponed, and new appointments basically being pending. 
The seller broke the latest news from logistics professionals in the industryThe warehouses that are currently subject to severe operational constraints mainly include:
gyr3、gyr2：Temporary closure of the warehouse without receiving, when to open the warehouse and other notices; 2、sbd1：Due to liquidation, it will be closed for rectification from December 6 to December 10, and there is a risk of delay; 3、sck4、ont6：Restricting the receipt of goods, increasing the probability of rejection; 4、lgb8、sbd2、lax9：Serious liquidation and refusal to receive goods; 5、ont8：Serious liquidation, the probability of rejection increases, and the current appointments are all postponed to after December 10.
It can be seen that there are currently a large number of popular Amazon warehouses that cannot be turned around normally, among which it is not excluded that the delivery transaction is delayed due to bad weather such as blizzard and tornadoes, but there are also many warehouses that have not been affected by the disaster, and there have been frequent delays in delivery and shelving since the beginning of last month. Combined with the peak season promotion some time ago, many sellers believe that the reason why Amazon's popular warehouses will suddenly burst is mainly due to the following three reasons:1. The volume of an order on the Black Friday Network is not as expected, and a large number of goods are hoarded in the warehouseAccording to AMZ123's survey data, during this year's Black Friday, 44% of sellers failed to clear their inventory, and only 10% of sellers successfully exploded. Amazon officially did not announce the specific growth data of this year's Black Friday Network One, but revealed that during the event, global consumers purchased more than 1 billion items on Amazon. It can be speculated that with the increase in the number of Amazon sellers, the market tends to have overproduction, resulting in some sellers bursting orders, but other sellers declining orders. 2. Strikes are frequent, and the timeliness of warehousing and logistics has dropped significantly, which in turn affects the normal weekly life of the warehouseIn addition to the multiple strikes launched by Amazon warehouses due to dissatisfaction with pay issues during the big promotion, more than 1,100 DHL workers have also recently gone on strike at DHL's U.S. express processing center due to an impasse in contract negotiations. Although DHL claims that the strike action will not disrupt its normal service, industry insiders believe that the speed of delivery of packages will be affected. Based on the above situation, it is not yet possible to know when Amazon's warehouse distribution will resume normal operation, AMZ123 hereby reminds relevant sellersIt is necessary to pay attention to the operation status of the goods at all times, and adjust the shipment plan according to the situation in time to avoid losses.
