Retailers are abandoning traditional Black Friday sales due to the summer attacks on warehouses. As Forbes points out, many sellers have burned their goods, and compensation has not yet been received, which is why there is no money to buy new goods. "Many sellers, left without goods, had to pause purchases to figure out how to work further. At the same time, goods and raw materials from China for the November sales had to be sent at the end of August or the beginning of September, when the situation in the warehouses remained unclear," explained to the public Vasily Bomgin, a member of the Board of Directors of the Market Sellers Association. Sellers surveyed by Forbes, including the offline segment, say there is no excess merchandise, so holding sales is simply not financially viable. "Usually the shares from previous years go on sale, but everything was burned," explained Ksenia Ryasova, president and owner of Finn Flyer. At the same time, Gergari Bar and the Yandex market state that they do not intend to refuse sales. Ozone declined to comment. The sellers note that promotions are only possible.
