Ozon in Russia began moving expensive goods from warehouses to order pickup points amid drone attacks
The movement of goods began on the night of August 2.
The marketplace informed some sellers that certain goods stored in its warehouses would be moved to the nearest order pickup points, writes "Kommersant". Sellers will not have to pay for the transportation.
According to one of the sellers, the movement of goods began on the night of August 2. The measures affected a limited part of the assortment — mainly expensive household appliances, electronics, and branded items, the publication notes. Ozon declined to comment on the situation.
Experts surveyed link this decision to the risk of drone attacks on logistics infrastructure. Additionally, insurance companies, with whom Ozon concluded an agreement on July 31 to compensate for possible losses in the event of attacks, might have demanded that expensive goods be distributed across various storage points to reduce potential risks.
Since mid-July, Ukrainian drones have already hit two dozen Wildberries warehouses.
