Amazon quietly lifted quantity restrictions on seller shipments to its warehouses, as the company's supply chain starts to regain momentum
The change comes a month after announcing Amazon would resume accepting non-essential items.
Sellers on the e-commerce site no longer face quantity restrictions on the number of items they can ship to Amazon warehouses, Amazon's representative confirmed in an email to Business Insider., when Amazon announced it would slowly open up its warehouses to accept all non-essential items. Amazon had suspended all shipments of non-essential items to its warehouses in March, in order to focus on coronavirus-related products, like medical supplies and household staples.
The move is the latest sign of improvement in Amazon's supply chain that faced severe lockdowns due to surging demand for essential products, like face masks and toilet paper, amid the coronavirus pandemic. Denny Smolinski, cofounder of ADEN Branding, an e-commerce consulting agency, said the easing pressure on Amazon's supply chain is a welcome sign. Still, he said, Amazon's fulfillment service, which gives sellers access to its storage space and delivery network, is not 100% back to normal conditions. Shipping time, in particular, is far from getting back to the standard one- to two-day delivery window, he said.
