Amazon says some shipments could take longer because of coronavirus
Amazon says coronavirus is hampering its ability to meet some customers' needs. The e-commerce giant said in a blog post Saturday that there has been a surge in online shopping as the coronavirus outbreak spreads โ and it's weighing on the company. Amazon has also had to grapple with sellers on its site trying to capitalize on the outbreak inappropriately. Earlier this month, Amazon said it pulled more than 1 million products for price gouging or falsely advertising effectiveness against the coronavirus. โWe actively monitor our store and remove offers that violate our policy,โ the company said in its blog post this weekend.
