Amazon Operation Strategy: How exactly is the estimated delivery time set for Amazon sellers during peak season?
July 7, 2023

Seller A
The expected delivery setup time is too short. If delivery is not on time, returns or complaints will occur, which will also affect account performance.
It is expected that the delivery setup time is too long and will reduce the appeal of the product to customers and affect the number of orders placed. I think last year's survey showed that 32% of consumers would abandon their purchases because of the expected long delivery time!This is affecting sales too much!Too long or too short doesn't work. What should I do?! Self-Fulfilment (MFN) sellers are so difficult!

Seller B
*According to the 2021 consumer survey, as many as 32% * of consumers globally abandoned their purchases because “the expected delivery time was too long”, and 22% * abandoned the purchase because “the seller did not specify a specific delivery time”.

Seller C

*This number comes from Amazon tracking sellers who used the feature in August. It may not apply to all sellers, and the exact amount of time it takes to reduce the feature may vary from seller to seller.

Why can this function accurately predict, and what is the principle?Wouldn't it increase the estimated delivery time and end up not being able to deliver and cause me to be sued?
Amazon uses back-office big data to automatically calculate the transit time required from the shipping address to the buyer's address based on your shipping location in SSA and the logistics services you use, thereby improving the accuracy of the estimated delivery time.

Wouldn't it be too complicated to operate?Wouldn't it be necessary to maintain it manually all the time?
Of course not!In addition to being able to accurately predict the estimated delivery time, SSA is also very user-friendly!
