Amazon Has Halted Warehouse Shipments Except Medical Supplies And High Demand Items

Amazon has temporarily halted shipment of items from independent merchants to its warehouses that are not medical supplies or high-demand items.

This will take effect on April 5 as the e-commerce giant focuses on products related to fighting the Coronavirus pandemic.

“We are temporarily prioritizing household staples, medical supplies and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centres so we can more quickly receive, restock, and ship these products to customers,” the spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.
