Amazon is already taking action for the so-called ” Phase 2 ” or the period that will bring Italy but also other countries in the world to resume activities around the cities after the now famous ” lock down ” total circulation. In this case we had seen how the e-commerce giant had in some way limited the delivery to users of some defined non-essential products, giving priority therefore to those who could instead serve users to live the block in the right way at home. Now, a few weeks later, Jeff Bezos’ company seems ready to unlock something and make the delivery of not only essential products less aggressive.
Amazon: not just deliveries of essential products
Amazon clearly will not allow to return to normal with shipments because in any case the giant will continue to monitor the situation on the needs of users in this health emergency from COVID-19 but in fact it intends to release the grip only on the essential products to be shipped. Hence, starting from the next few days, Amazon will try to accept more products in its warehouses even if these will still be limited in quantities to allow to continue to give priority to essential products and above all to protect the employees who work in the company’s hubs. . In fact, however, as stated by a spokesman, Amazon, will ensure “that most of the partner sellers can send goods to our facilities”.
A small reopening therefore that will allow the availability of non-essential products on the catalog of the ecommerce giant. These goods clearly won’t affect food, which we saw was deemed essential a few weeks ago. There is talk of technological products above all that could serve users precisely for the second phase of recovery on the work of “smart working”. In the coming days, therefore, the Amazon warehouses could be enriched with PCs, notebooks but also with other technological accessories, thus allowing the purchase and above all the reception in a short time.

Amazon: which products are declared essential?
Amazon had decided to focus exclusively on the most essential products, that is, the basic necessities for the health emergency. The rest had been partly set aside, guaranteeing delivery but with longer times. But which were actually considered essential products and therefore with shipment without any delay?
Here’s the list:
- food and any food;
- pet products ;
- industrial and scientific supplies ;
- health products and equipment ;
- home care products such as detergents and soaps;
- personal care products ;
- baby products.
Amazon’s motivation is clearly linked to its spirit of help towards the community in this moment of strong emergency CODIV-19. Here is the message delivered to all users:
“Just as customers use e-commerce as a useful tool for their social distancing efforts, we too have adopted specific distancing measures within our distribution centers so that our employees can work safely. The combination of these two elements requires us to concentrate our available capacity on products that have the highest priority and, starting today, to temporarily cease accepting orders on some products not necessities both of Amazon.it than on Amazon.fr. This decision allows our employees in the distribution centers to focus on receiving and shipping the products that customers need most right now. Customers can still order many of these products from sales partners who ship directly. We understand that this is a change for our sales partners who use Amazon Logistics and we appreciate their understanding at this time when we prioritize the products that customers need most.“
