    Updates to Amazon’s Handling Time for Fulfilled by Merchant Brands

    by | Nov 14, 2023 | Amazon Handling Time, Blog article

    Updates to Amazon’s Handling Time for Fulfilled by Merchant Brands

    Introduction

    Amazon has introduced significant updates to its handling time management for sellers who fulfill their own orders, particularly beneficial during the high-volume holiday season. These enhancements aim to present more precise delivery estimates to shoppers, potentially increasing sales for brands.

    Understanding Automated Handling Time

    Automated handling time, a feature determining handling times for each SKU based on historical performance, has been improved in the following ways as of September 2023:

    Same-Day Handling Time: This update applies a same-day handling time for SKUs dispatched on the order day, ensuring more accurate delivery predictions.

    Handling Capacity Override: Sellers can now manually adjust the automated order-handling capacity, derived from past performance, if their operational capabilities have improved.

    Reverting Option: Opting out of automated handling time will reset the SKU-specific handling time to its prior state, allowing sellers to experiment with the feature without losing their original settings.

    Amazon’s New Approach to Default Handling Time

    Amazon has removed the 2-day default handling time option for brands in the Fulfilled by Merchant program. This change reflects the fact that 85% of sellers fulfill orders within a day. The implications are as follows:

    • 2-Day Handling for Specific SKUs: For SKUs historically taking over a day to process without a set SKU-level handling time, Amazon will automatically apply a 2-day handling time, overriding the default.

    • 1-Day Default Handling Time: SKUs historically processed in a day or less, without a specific handling time, will adhere to the updated 1-day default.

    • No Change for Existing SKU-Specific Times: SKUs with pre-set specific handling times remain unaffected.

      Additional Flexibility for Brands

      Brands can set an Order Handling Capacity to buffer against order influxes. They can also define SKU-specific Handling Times, useful for products requiring more than a day for dispatch. This customization allows brands to maintain a balance between operational efficiency and customer expectations.

      TMA Analysis

      Amazon’s move towards shorter, more precise Handling Times aligns with the trend of brands often setting needlessly extended times. This habit leads to shoppers seeing longer estimated delivery dates. By fine-tuning these settings, especially for key SKUs during the holiday season, brands can make their offers more appealing, potentially boosting sales. The Machine Agency advises a thorough review of Handling Time settings across your FBM catalog to optimize for the upcoming seasonal rush.

      Beyond Reviews: The New Paradigm to Drive Sales on Amazon

      Beyond Reviews: The New Paradigm to Drive Sales on Amazon

      Introduction

      In the not-so-distant past, reviews on Amazon acted as the north star for potential customers. A high number of positive reviews almost guaranteed an influx of sales, and many brands believed that the more reviews they accumulated, the higher their chances of success. However, as with many things on the internet, this system found its loophole exploiters.

      The proliferation of fake reviews and seller-generated feedback has caused consumers to approach these once-trusted testimonies with skepticism. The Amazon review system, though still valuable to some extent, no longer holds the credibility it once did. So, what’s the way forward for brands wanting to establish trust and drive sales on Amazon?

      The Age of Community-Driven Brands

      Enter the era of community-driven brands. As the proverb goes, “It takes a village to raise a child,” similarly, it takes a community to uplift a brand to the pinnacle of success. Building a brand isn’t just about selling a product anymore; it’s about establishing a tribe of loyal followers whose opinions are revered and trusted.

      Why Community Matters More Than Ever

      Authenticity: Communities aren’t built overnight. They’re nurtured over time through genuine interaction, understanding, and mutual respect. A well-engaged community reflects the brand’s authenticity, making its recommendations more trustworthy.

      Feedback Loop: Instead of sifting through potentially fake reviews, brands can tap into their community for genuine feedback, ensuring that products evolve according to real consumer needs.

      Word-of-Mouth: Personal recommendations have always been powerful. A recommendation from someone within a trusted community carries significant weight. When members of your brand’s community share their positive experiences, it resonates more authentically than any Amazon review ever could.

      Harnessing the Power of Community

      For brands looking to thrive on platforms like Amazon, here are a few steps to cultivate and leverage your community:

      1. Engage Beyond Selling: Use platforms like social media, forums, and newsletters to engage with your audience. Share stories, address concerns, and celebrate successes together.

      2. Create Exclusive Experiences: Offer your community exclusive deals, sneak peeks, or opportunities to test new products. Make them feel valued.

      3. Encourage Sharing: Motivate your community members to share their experiences and stories. When genuine stories are shared, they have the potential to influence far more than any fabricated review.

      Conclusions

      In conclusion, while reviews on Amazon will always have some influence, the era of community-driven brands is upon us. Brands that understand the value of genuine community interactions and can harness its power will undoubtedly have an edge in the market. Let your community be the genuine voice of your brand, and let their trusted opinions drive your success on Amazon.
