Many Amazon sellers quote a processing time on the promised delivery date that is significantly longer than the actual time it takes to complete the order. However, too long a turnaround time can discourage Amazon customers from ordering from you. In the worst case, they will then make the purchase from one of your competitors. For this reason, this week we will show you how you can individually set the processing time at Amazon and consequently there will no longer be a discrepancy with the actual delivery and processing time. In addition, we'll introduce you to a tool that helps you manage your inventory.
Without adjusting the processing time, you run the risk of losing sales potential as an Amazon Seller. The first thing you need to do is log into Seller Central. There you have to navigate to the shipping settings. Under the section "General shipping settings" you will find the "Processing time". You can then edit this. Alternatively, you can also click on this link and set a processing time of one day, for example.
In addition to the processing time, you can also set the order processing capacity. This allows you to set a limit for the number of orders in a day. There is also the option to adjust processing times to specific ASINs. This makes sense, for example, if you know that it always takes a bit longer for certain products to be ready for shipment.
The processing time can also be extended by the fact that products ordered by customers are simply not in stock in your warehouse at the time of ordering. This is annoying, of course. However, you don't need to worry about it, as there are tools for exactly this purpose. If you need assistance in managing your stock, we can recommend Helium 10 Inventory Protector. The tool will help you keep track of everything and save you from unnecessary storage costs. In this post, you will learn everything else about Inventory Protector's features and costs.
