Set up Handling Time (also known as Fulfillment Latency) for your Amazon Products using Spark Shipping

Handling Time (also known as Fulfillment Latency) is the number of business days between when you receive an order on Amazon and when you ship it. The default value on Amazon is one to two business days. More about this feature can be found here:

You can now set the handling time for your products on a Vendor level when Spark Shipping runs inventory updates:

 

Go to your vendor's Overview page -> expand Advanced Settings -> Handling Time (in days), then save with the update button at the bottom of the page. This field only appears for vendors connected to an Amazon site. Spark Shipping sets the time to 2 days by default, but you are free to update it to the vendor's Fulfillment Latency as you see fit. Amazon requires a handling time between 1 and 30 days, and Spark Shipping sends it with every inventory update.

 

*Please note that changing the Handling Time will take effect in Amazon when the next inventory update runs. If a product's quantity does not change, handling time will not change either. It will only update when there is an update to be made for a product.
