Wildberries Opens Partner Fulfillment Centers in Moscow
The PFZ will handle the actual warehousing and initial processing — the buyer has placed an order, information is sent to the warehouse, the warehouse assembles the goods and sends them to the Wildberries sorting center.
Consensus
- Wildberries has launched partner fulfillment centers (PFCs) in Moscow and the Moscow Region.
- The PFCs are used for receiving, storing, and shipping goods from sellers on the platform.
- PFCs are operated by third-party owners or tenants of commercial spaces.
- PFCs must meet specific requirements, including a minimum area of 200 square meters, cargo access, and surveillance.
- PFCs can earn compensation for handling, storing, and shipping goods.
- Wildberries has introduced voluntary insurance for goods in PFCs against drone attacks.
- Additional PFCs are expected to open in other Russian regions in the near future.
Points of divergence
- The initiative is part of a broader support program for platform sellers and Wildberries pickup point owners. — vesti
- The new scheme involves Wildberries formally contracting third-party warehouses, unlike the previous model where sellers independently chose external warehouses. — fontanka
