The e-commerce business has suffered a lot due to the lockdown situation of the last few days. E-commerce sales have declined due to disruptions in transportation. There is a lack of sellers to deliver the goods to the buyers in the right place. This has led to a kind of miss-selling situation in e-commerce business. Consumers who prefer to shop from social selling apps are not able to buy things of their choice from selling apps even though they have high hopes.
Many e-commerce business men want to suspend their business for a long time, as this is the only good way to prevent disease. As a result, e-commerce has created a deficit and frustration in peoples' mind. The most popular selling apps are - amazon, e-bay, flipkart, Shopify, etc. due to the current situation, they have not received any sales order except selling some essential items like - hand sanitizer, gloves, face mask, medicines etc. At present, such a situation has created great crisis and instability in the lives of the people. The first few weeks of the lockdown saw nothing but a few grocery stores were opened. People ate at home of their preserving foods to save their lives. The law and order situation in the country has been further strengthened as there is no cure for such a terrible disease. A person must wear a mask when walking on the street and it is forbidden to walk on the street unless it is very important in these case. Strict police guard has been seen everywhere and unnecessary vehicle riding were restricted.
As the disease is epidemic and the only way to prevent Coronavirus disease is to obey government orders. So, it has become almost impossible for vendors to roam in different places. The normal pace at which the e-commerce business was run has come to a halt. However, it could lead to the collapse of e-commerce business. Although, this is not mere, as the disease was epidemic and the only way to prevent Coronavirus disease was to obey government orders, so definite deficit has been created around in these. Basically, the leaders of e-commerce companies have ordered the suspension of e-commerce business due to lockdown for several reasons. Well-known organizations like WHO, ICMR have declared that the epidemic is contagious and peoples are carriers of the disease, so, e-commerce should be stopped at this time and so that no one is harmed by e-commerce. So, it is also important to stop trading outside for the time being. Let's take a look at the reasons for miss-selling in e-commerce business.
Due to Coronavirus pandemic cases
Due to the pandemic cases of Coronavirus, e-commerce business is banned everywhere. The government mandate that e-commerce companies only fulfill orders of essential goods such as groceries during the past five weeks has led to Amazon cutting back on a lot of it's offerings in the country. Company chairperson said in a conversation - "We're now only fulfilling (orders) for essential goods ... so that's a cutback on a lot of our offering."
Due to Coronavirus infection causes
Due to Coronavirus infection causes, e-commerce business is out of all services.According to experienced persons, since people are carriers of this disease, e-commerce business should not be taken up by any means at this moment. The Ministry of Home Affairs has revised its guidelines, saying that e-commerce companies will be allowed to resume full operations in parts of the country designated as green (virus-free) and orange (low-infection areas). In case of Red Zone ( high - infection area), everything will be banned now.
Due to less transportation facilities
Due to the national lockdown, the constant movements of the goods have been stopped. The movement less condition of the truck along the road is still noticeable in different places. Similarly, train and bus services are closed. Strict police cordon surrounds and restricts traffic to all places except for special needs. Transportation is required for transportation of goods. Because most e-commerce businesses do their business online. In that case, the product arrives from far and wide to reach the buyers. So, less transportation facilities are the matter of losses of e-commerce business.
Due to social distance maintaining
Although the leaders of the e-commerce companies have assured the social people that the online e-commerce business can never be affected by the big disease caused by coronavirus, they have supported in various ways that the work should be done in accordance with social distancing. In e-commerce business, all the necessary things for social distancing should be followed by the letter, the order is instructed by the officials. Because in e-commerce business, vendors have to roam from place to place to transport goods. In that case, it is not possible to prevent the disease if the social distance is not observed.
