Amazon India, it's time to take seller concerns seriously! We're facing recurring issues with FBA shipments not being picked up, despite multiple escalations. Our recent shipment FBA15JRY1KT5 (Case ID: 10551022312) has not been picked up, and we're still awaiting resolution. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident. Our previous shipments FBA15JLVPKGS and FBA15JLVBLR5 were stuck for over a month and eventually got cancelled due to pickup issues. As sellers, we invest time, resources, and trust in Amazon's FBA program. It's essential that you acknowledge these issues and take concrete steps to resolve them permanently. We urge you to: Investigate and resolve the pickup issue for FBA15JRY1KT5 immediately. Implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future. Provide clear communication and support to sellers facing similar issues. We hope Amazon India will take our concerns seriously and work towards finding a permanent solution. #AmazonIndia #FBAShipmentIssues #SellerConcerns
