Default transit times for domestic sellers
Amazon sets the default transit time for new shipping templates, as shown in the table below. The default transit time is the setting that is automatically populated when you create a new template. If you are not able to meet the maximum allotted default transit time with your current carrier, then you need to set different timelines in your shipping templates.
| Ships from | Destination | Default Transit Time | Available Transit Time Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Mainland United Kingdom | 2-3 days |
2-3 days 3-5 days |
| United Kingdom | Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, and British Forces Post Office (BFPO) | 3-5 days |
2-3 days 3-5 days 5-7 days 5-10 days 7-14 days |
