Amazon's 'Essential Item' Policy Upsets Everyone

Amazon announced March 17 that it would no longer accept nonessential products at its warehouses. The pledge was meant to allow sellers to stock nonessential items in their own warehouses and ship directly to customers. Amazon has quietly relaxed even further its definition of what is essential, while extending indefinitely the date by which “operations will be fully restored” Amazon says it is still prioritizing essential items, but “we have begun selectively bringing more products from our selling partners into our fulfillment centers”
