I’m kind of in the same boat, although we do fulfilment in house, but the stuff we sell isn’t essential in any way (bike parts for old school BMX enthusiasts).
My gut feeling is that the right thing for me to do is to close my shop, to reduce the pressure and the danger to the delivery people. Less parcels is less contact.
We’ve got a potentially weird grey area at my work, where we can all work from home and have been for a while. But we sell physical products online, and the third party fulfilment centre theoretically could still be running. I think there’s not been much clarification on whether “absolutely necessary” refers to the travel to a job, or the job itself. Shipping our products right now is not vital to people’s survival. But if the same fulfilment centre ships groceries, the workers will presumably be there anyway.
