According to news from Chuhsai.com, a large distribution center and overseas warehouse in Ontario, California, USA, caught fire at level six in the early morning recently, and the goods in the warehouse were basically burned. It is reported that the warehouse is the company's largest daily necessities distribution center in Southern California, most of which are stored in third-party cooperative overseas warehouses, and a large number of cross-border sellers' goods may be damaged. The local police have classified it as arson, and an employee has been detained. Although the fire warehouse is not an Amazon FBA warehouse, since the incident occurred in the core area of US West logistics, close to multiple Amazon key warehouses such as ONT8 and LAX9, the fire blocked the surrounding freight passages, indirectly affecting the receiving and shelving efficiency of some Amazon US West warehouses and the performance time of surrounding orders. This incident once again warns sellers that when arranging overseas warehouses, they need to diversify risks, choose compliant service providers and improve cargo insurance to cope with multiple uncertainties such as warehousing logistics, supply chain concentration and platform policies.
