Online shopping and shipping in Israel could suffer a heavy blow due to the coronavirus outbreak, with shipping delays projected to last for months, Haaretz reported.
The main causes of this slowdown are due to the suspension of flights into Israel from Europe and the US, causing delays in orders from overseas through services such as eBay and Amazon. With flights from China and Hong Kong having already been suspended, similar delays are expected through e-commerce platforms like Ali Express. Products will eventually be out of stock, with companies unable to make any deliveries whatsoever.
