> In the final weeks of the busy holiday season, we recommend the following best practices to manage seller-fulfilled orders:
> 
> - **Customize your [Notification Options](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/notifications/preferences/ref=xx_notifpref_dnav_xx)** 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](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/performance/dashboard?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_2).** 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](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/sbr/handlingTime/edit?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_3)** 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.](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G200955560?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_4)
> - **Make sure your delivery promises are accurate.** Check your [shipping templates](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/sbr/ref=xx_shipset_dnav_xx#shipping_templates) to make sure you can meet the transit time set up, or enable [Shipping settings automation](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G8WRJF2N5B787XKQ?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_6) 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**](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gc/sell-online/amazon-buy-shipping?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_8) **labels** to help protect your account performance metrics and benefit from Amazon’s pre-negotiated rates or [your own connected carrier rates](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/carrier-preferences/main?ref=nslp_at_GHYFAD29JTYQZJ4M_en-US_nslnk_9).
