AMZ123 has learned that the floods in Thailand are severely disrupting the fulfillment chain for sellers on the Thailand site. On the morning of September 26, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration announced that disaster-affected areas had expanded to all 50 districts, with road flooding and paralyzed traffic. Severe water accumulation at warehouse park entrances, blocked container pickup at ports, and interrupted last-mile delivery in many areas have led many sellers to report declining orders and no one coming to pick up parcels. Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada's Thailand local sites have temporarily extended delivery times for all orders. Taking Shopee as an example, orders placed after noon on September 26 can be delivered by September 29, and related delays will not be counted as late deliveries or failed orders. Thailand Post also issued a notice that parcel delivery in some areas is affected. Data from Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation shows that as of the 26th, 21 provinces nationwide remain flooded, affecting about 84,000 people, and the meteorological department expects rainfall to gradually weaken from the 28th.

SellerHome Review

The floods in Thailand have affected 50 districts. Platforms such as Shopee have waived late shipment penalties, easing short-term fulfillment pressure for sellers on the Thailand site. Sellers are advised to closely monitor logistics timeliness, communicate with buyers promptly, and evaluate stocking and replenishment pace.
