The conflict of Wildberries with the owners of points of issue of orders flows into the judicial plane

Owners of pick-up points (POIs) and Wildberries sellers are filing lawsuits against this company en masse. This was announced on April 13 at a meeting with State Duma deputies by Alexander Efimov, CEO of the law firm Fox Legal Consulting (he represents the interests of marketplace partners). This is also confirmed by the data of the database of arbitration courts. According to SPARK-Interfax, since the beginning of 2023, more than 400 applications for 560 million rubles have been submitted to Wildberries. For comparison: in terms of money, this is slightly less than it was for the entire last year: the total amount of claims then amounted to 640 million rubles. Most of them (about 300) are related to the fulfillment of obligations under contracts, in particular agency and commission agreements, they are initiated by sellers and owners of pickup points, explains Yefimov. He adds that in about half of the cases, companies dispute the fines accrued by marketplace bots, and in the rest they dispute their responsibility for lost or damaged goods.

Representatives of the PVZ themselves at a meeting in the State Duma confirmed the existence of such lawsuits, but advised them to contact Yefimov for details.
