Camera Gear Shipments To Be Delayed As Amazon Prioritises Household Staples And Medical Supplies

So, that new camera you wanted? It’ll probably have to wait. That lens you’ve wanted to get for ages that you can now finally afford? You’re just going to have to hold out just a little bit longer. They do say that 3rd party sellers can still ship products directly to customers and that these sales will not be affected. Of course, this defeats the whole purpose of buying FBA products. However, they are still available if you wish to make use of them. You will, however, lose the FBA protections (like getting fake memory cards replaced, for example). As of right now, the prioritisation measures are set to stay in place until April 5th, but depending on how the epidemic goes over the next couple of weeks, it may extend the new rules for longer.
