Incorrect delivery times advertising, bad effect on sales
This happened in the USA with significant backlash. I noticed today all our books are marked as delivery 12-14th May which is nonsense. In our SC account it says delivery must be made 4th to 7th May. This seems to have happened to all Marketplace sellers, not just us. It may say this on SFP listings as well. Not got that far yet…
Anyone seen the same issue?

I have also noticed this as my sales dropped dramatically. I am FBM seller and I usually dispatch the same day and get orders to customers next day. Now my delivery time is showing 7 - 11 May even though my delivery template did not changed.

I can’t believe that no one noticed yet just us two…or? are we missing something? I checked random products on Amazon and they all have the same delivery dates which are 7-11 May or 9-13 May.

Also I can confirm that delivery dates for customers are showing 7 -11 May but when they convert from pending to unshipped they are showing deliver by 2-5 May.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there is a deadly worldwide pandemic that’s putting tremendous strain on Royal mail and other couriers…

This is what I see on Amazon as a customer ,
and this is what delivery date I see when I despatch the order…

Just popped in to see if this had been picked up on. Exactly what we are seeing, been through our shipping settings but cannot do anything to bring it back to a reasonable shipping timeframe.
So we’ve gone from not being able to adequately extend times to give a very conservative timeframe, to being forced into advertising a completely skewed delivery timescale.
And Thursday is normally my day of generosity where every order going out on courier (rather than RM) gets upgraded to a next day service so the customer can be delighted by having it before the weekend.
Oh Amazon.

The long FBM delivery estimates are about 2 weeks too late… in my experience, parcel post seems to be getting back to normal now (Royal Mail). FBM sales are affected here too, so its back to FBA for me (now amzn have unblocked all my FBA Inbound items)

This is really bad, FBA does not get Buybox over MFN (even non SFP), but the MFN date is 2 weeks away!
Needs fixed ASAP.
