More fresh BS Hello, We are writing to inform you about a new handling time requirement going into effect on June 29, 2026. There is no action required from you because you have Automated Handling Time (AHT) enabled for your account. Fast and accurate delivery builds customer trust and is a key f…

[image] Tallytony: I think that is just to further expunge smaller sellers from the platform It may be, as the Managing Director of the company, just completing a move, and not yet ready to go into full production this is difficult. If we were bigger, it may not make a difference. We have s…

[image] primetime: I would rather ship as soon as I can BUT keep a cushion for unforeseen delays and heavier prep order days. [image] Image: The problem… something may happen, it may not work every single time. [image] Image: I know as a customer Amazon very rarely provides that le…

[image] Amazon_Seller: At least they didn’t say they would shut down the listing, as they did before That response if probably in reserve if non-compliance continues.
