Amazon is taking drastic steps to ensure it can continue to deliver the most important products to its customers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company made the announcement today in a message to sellers, saying that it would no longer be accepting inbound shipments of items sold by third parties under the “Fulfilment by Amazon” program unless those products are considered high-priority.
The company notes that it will still be accepting shipments for medical and health products, household staples, and “other high-demand products.” Still, that means that the vast majority of products under Amazon’s umbrella will now be deprioritized, with no new orders being filled by the company until April 5th.
