PARIS: Amazon plans to extend the closure of its French warehouses until May 8 included, the e-commerce giant said on Monday.
The US group’s six French warehouses have been closed since April 16 following court rulings that ordered it to restrict deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic or face hefty fines.
“Unfortunately, this means that we consider to temporarily suspend the activity at our French distribution centres until May 8 included,” Amazon said, adding that it was still reviewing how to operate within the frame of the ruling.
The decision for closure/suspension of the French e-Commerce 6 warehousing operations suspended the EU, Middle East region and beyond. Trust normal operations of the honorable courts permission.
