Attacks on Wildberries Warehouses Reduced Pickup Point Revenue by 30-40%

Owners of Wildberries pickup points (PVZ) have faced a decline in turnover following attacks on the company's warehouse infrastructure. In some regions, revenues have dropped by 15-20% year-on-year, with reductions reaching 30-40% on peak days. This is attributed to a decrease in orders and a drop in customer traffic. As of August 3, over 9,300 out of 98,000 operating points in the country have been put up for sale. The profitability of these points ranges from 5-10%, with some operating at a loss. In Moscow, from July 20 to August 2, 65 points were put up for sale with discounts of up to 30%. It is forecasted that about 15% of the points will close by the end of the year. The Association of E-commerce Market Participants has proposed reducing rental fees for PVZ by 50% for six months. Attacks on logistics began on July 18, affecting warehouse areas exceeding 1.5 million square meters, which accounts for 27% of the marketplace's total capacity. Around 20 logistics centers in various cities have been hit.
