What is Amazon Handling Time? Amazon Handling Time Review

time

The number of days for handling time refers to working days, and Saturdays and Sundays are not included.

Change

Previously, production time was equivalent to handing time.

Revise

Log in to the seller backend, click inventory-manage inventory-EDIT DETAIL, and in the OFFER column you can find the option "Handling time (in days)" to edit the time.

If you use templates for batch modification, you can use fulfillment_latency in the template to represent the handling time, and write the number of days required to be delayed.

Disadvantages

The modification of the Handing Time will not cause a decrease in Amazon’s store indicators, but sellers must also consider the feelings of customers. If the Handing Time of the product is too long and customers can’t wait, it may lead to claims and bad reviews.

Policy changes

From September 2014, the late shipment rate assessment standard is based on the handling time set by the seller to determine whether the seller's confirmed shipment exceeds the expected ship date; if the seller does not set it separately, the system defaults to 1-2 working days.

Starting from August 8, 2017, sellers on the UK site can set the Handling Time to 1 day. If the handling time is set to 1 day, the seller needs to hand over the product to the logistics provider within 1 working day.

Starting from September 2017, if the seller does not set the product's Handling Time, the platform will automatically default to 1 day. Before the adjustment, the platform will send a notification email to the seller.
