Ozon has paid compensation to 25,000 businessmen for burned goods in a New Riga warehouse. This is 70% of the total number of sellers whose products were stored in burned blocks, a market representative told RB.RU.
The company is awaiting information on the remaining 30% of the victims.
In September, Ozon made 4 installments of payments, the last one was made on September 30. The exact amount of compensation was not disclosed.
“There are businessmen who have not yet confirmed the amount of the payment to Ozon; many of them are waiting for the end of inventory to immediately receive payment for all the goods that were stored in the warehouse. 6,000 businessmen had all their assets in a block that was not affected by the fire,” the company said in a statement.
Now the site continues to inventory the assets of the block that was not damaged by the fire. Some of Ozon’s products are already back on sale. The inventory will be completed in October. For items that cannot be returned for sale, Ozon will compensate sellers.
