It seems that a court has ordered Amazon to deliver only essential products [0], and Amazon's reaction is to suspend all deliveries.
They write in their other tweets [1] that the decision is based on (i) the fine of €1M per infraction imposed by the court, and (ii) the risk of contravening the decision being high due to complex logistics.

- bobbylarrybobby 6y agoI thought the court had ordered them to cease delivering non-essentials, but left the decision of whether to continue shipping essentials or to close altogether up to Amazon.
- downerending 6y agoWow. Given the number of items they ship in a day, a million-dollar fine every mistake could turn out to be a lot of money. I'd shut down, too. EDIT: I read elsewhere that it was a million euros per day, not per infraction. Much more reasonable.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoInteresting that the BBC says the fine is €1M per day while Amazon says it is €1M per infraction. Which is it?
