Tips to effectively manage seller-fulfilled orders this holiday season

In the final weeks of the busy holiday season, we recommend the following best practices to manage seller-fulfilled orders:

• Customize your Notification Options to ensure you’re subscribed to the right notifications and that the right email address is on file.
• Keep an eye on your Account Health. During high sales periods it’s especially important to monitor your late shipment rate, pre-fulfillment cancellation rate, valid tracking rate, and on-time delivery rate and proactively resolve any issues.
• Set your Order Handling Capacity to the number of seller-fulfilled orders you can ship in one day. The default handling time for seller-fulfilled orders has been updated from two days to one, but you can set a longer SKU-level handling time.
• Make sure your delivery promises are accurate. Check your shipping templates to make sure you can meet the transit time set up, or enable Shipping settings automation to automatically calculate accurate delivery promises.
• Use vacation settings to set your listing status to “Inactive” and stop orders from coming in if you’re unavailable over the holidays.
• Use Amazon Buy Shipping labels to help protect your account performance metrics and benefit from Amazon’s pre-negotiated rates or your own connected carrier rates.
