Thai Floods Disrupt Logistics, Shopee Extends Fulfillment Deadlines for Affected Sellers

On August 25, news emerged that multiple provinces in southern Thailand have been hit by floods recently, with road access and logistics transport significantly disrupted. Some local sellers have encountered obstacles in warehouse stock preparation and parcel delivery. Shopee Thailand's local store arm subsequently issued a notice, launching a fulfillment grace policy for sellers in the flood-affected southern provinces. It will uniformly extend the latest delivery deadline to August 24 for all orders generated between August 19 and 23, 2026, as well as existing backlogged orders that have not yet been picked up by logistics carriers. Orders successfully delivered within the extended period will not be judged by the platform as delayed or failed deliveries, and will not affect the store's late shipment rate or performance scores. The platform stated that it will continue to monitor the development of the disaster. If subsequent logistics recovery remains unsatisfactory, it will evaluate further extending the grace period and issue relevant notifications in a timely manner. Cross-border and local sellers in non-affected areas are not impacted by this policy and are still required to comply with the original delivery timelines.
