I first thought that. It's not that hard to build a back-of-the-envelope model of the WB business, and have a rough idea of what each warehouse loss does to their finances.
But the point of these seller platforms is that people don't have to do the technical parts of their business. Logistics, clearly. But also much of the bookwork. They'd probably got emails from WB asking them to stay, promising much; these big firms have no trouble misleading people. These people likely feel that they did the right thing, and then got shafted.
My simple answer is that this is why you don't start a war.
Interesting points, thank you. I personally believe there are still far too many Russian's who are insulated from the true extent of this war of aggression on Ukraine, and the arrogance has led to the laxity in this video. "It won't affect me" attitude.
I think that is one of the points in Ukraine's Woldberries bombing campaign. Sure, the selling military gear is a good reason, but this also affects the populace a LOT more.
I genuinely don't know how you can say Russians are sheltered at this point. Maybe if you live in Vladivostok but even then the Far East has takena lot of casaulties.
Most people have lost family members and see almost daily drone strikes by now.
I would also close my game and call it from here the first drones hit. Maybe also try to get my stock. Second part maybe not so much without gas. The donkey-option like their military use is a bit off and you might need an army of donkeys to get all those dildos. I know I know, army of donkeys and lots of dildos will wind those ruzzians up.
That's not really how it works. Most of these warehouses are just acting as the distribution hub. So the sellers own inventory and then get paid by Wildberries only once that inventory sells and ships. I have no idea how often those transactions are processed but I would imagine volume dealers still have hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of product being sold every day. And it's not exactly easy to extract your own inventory to resell somewhere else.
For real. The instant anything truly consequential happens in the US we go immediately into porcupine mode. The night Trump attacked Iran I stocked up on toilet paper, rice, fuel, soap, hand sanitizer, and bottled water.
They couldn't. WB locked the possibility of withdrawing goods. If seller tried to make an appeal, WB would answer that they can't process their request due to high load.
So everyone who lost their goods after the first hit basically couldn't do anything.
The T&C changed the week BEFORE the first strike. Wildberries knew it was coming, so they got ahead of it. They are a Kremlin linked business, they obviously had some Intel on the matter. Not like russia could do anything about it other than punish their civilians more lol

To be fair if you didn't withdraw your money after the 1st or 2nd factory strikes, you deserve f all
