A fire at Coupang's Incheon logistics hub destroyed inventory from Rocket Gross sellers (third-party consignment vendors), halting their product sales. Compensation responsibility for third-party sellers is unclear and more complex than for Coupang's direct Rocket Delivery inventory.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell inventory through marketplace logistics (Coupang, Amazon, Lazada), your stock sits in a warehouse you don't control and the platform's insurance covers only their own purchases, not yours. This fire just proved that when the warehouse burns, third-party sellers have no clarity on what they'll recover—and that gap is your liability.
