Myth 1.
About a year ago, Wildberries informed sellers that it was introducing a recheck of the dimensions of delivered goods, and if the actual dimensions differ from those declared, namely, if they are understated, then in this case the sellers will receive a fine.

The background to the introduction of this measure is as follows: previously, the cost of logistics directly depended on the storage warehouse, and then Wildberries tied it to the dimensions of the goods. Accordingly, it became important for WB that sellers indicated the correct dimensions in the product cards. At first, the marketplace did not re-measure the products upon acceptance, trusting the information received from sellers. But repeated violations by sellers, expressed in their deliberate underestimation of the dimensions of goods in order to reduce transportation costs, caused such a reaction.

Information about updating the requirements appeared in switzerland consumer email list advance , sellers were given a reasonable amount of time to recheck the goods and, if necessary, adjust the product cards.

Moreover, the announcement of the innovation, the timing of its implementation and sanctions for violating the rules constantly caught the eye when working in the personal account and was duplicated in the official WB channel in Telegram.

The image below shows that the change in the logistics and storage calculation system from 10/01/22 was announced on 09/17/22, that is, 2 weeks in advance.

Wildberries gave sellers enough time to adjust the dimensions of the goods and thus avoid fines. Those sellers who for some reason ignored the warning and did not make the necessary changes, when the marketplace conducted a mass compliance check, received those very "giant" fines that are so rumored."

Conclusion: changes do not happen suddenly, they are announced in advance. Therefore, it is so important to follow the updates of the WB Offer and news about changes in the rules of work on the marketplace, as well as respond to notifications from WB and take action if necessary.
