As an Amazon seller, you know that fast shipping is key to customer satisfaction. But when it comes to Saturday delivery, things can get complicated. Let's dive into the challenges and potential solutions for offering weekend deliveries.

The Saturday Delivery Dilemma

Many Amazon sellers offer next-day delivery for orders placed before 1 PM. However, this service often doesn't include Saturdays, as shipping carriers like DPD only count working weekdays. This gap can lead to customer disappointment and negative feedback, especially for orders placed on Fridays.

While Amazon treats Saturdays as a regular working day for delivery, sellers aren't required to offer this service. And there's a good reason why many don't - the cost. Saturday delivery can be 50-60% more expensive than regular weekday delivery. This puts sellers in a tough spot: disappoint customers or absorb higher costs.

Potential Solutions for Sellers

So what can you do to navigate this tricky situation? Here are a few options to consider:

1. Switch to a 2-day premium delivery option: This can give you more flexibility and potentially reduce costs while still meeting customer expectations.

2. Explore Royal Mail's Tracked 24 service: In some cases, this service may provide Saturday delivery.

3. Clearly communicate delivery timeframes: Make sure your customers understand when they can expect their packages to arrive, especially for weekend orders.

4. Consider selective Saturday delivery: You might offer this service for certain high-value products or during peak seasons.

It's worth noting that Amazon's shipping tools have limited options for selecting Saturday delivery, which can add to the challenge.

The Road Ahead

Balancing customer expectations for quick delivery with the practical and financial realities of shipping remains an ongoing challenge for Amazon sellers. As ecommerce continues to evolve, it's likely we'll see more innovations in delivery options and logistics.

In the meantime, the key is to be transparent with your customers, explore all available shipping options, and find a balance that works for both your business and your buyers.

We'd love to hear from you! How do you handle Saturday delivery requests? Have you found any creative solutions? Share your experiences in the comments below.

Transit Time
by Seller_L6HyQXmofWTje

I wonder if someone can help me. Contact to Amazon is very frustrating. I want to change the transit time which Amazon made to decide. Everywhere I look I have no option to change transit time to me so I can alter the time. It just says managed by Amazon. New template neither lets you choose an option.

Amazon replied

I just noticed that Parcelforce now appear on the SFP delivery performance stats page, does this mean they're becoming a Prime carrier now?

Dear fellow sellers,

I'm encountering some delays with an inbound shipment using Amazon Partner Carrier (RXO) to BXH4 this month.

Are you experiencing the same?

I asked the POD to RXO and they sent me a page without any stamp or signature from Amazon.

Thank you.

Hi Fellow sellers,

please could some one help me to get Amazon to understand an issue, need some advice. My issue is that I have a range of graduation cards that we send into Amazon for them to fulfil. We print the FKSKU barcode on the back of the card along with human readable version of the barcode printed underneath. Some one at Amazon has put a label onto the card for a different design of card. So what happened is a lady order a graduation card and got one with different text than what she was expecting. I used to work in Amazon warehouse and I know 100% what has happened, but I keep getting told that they haven't relabeled the item

how do I get someone to understand and look at the issue, what I am concerned about is if they have done this on multiple items

please help me, "support" shouldn't be this frustrating and time consuming

thanks in advance

Hi all,

I’m sharing this to see if others have had similar issues and to raise awareness of a frustrating delay I’m currently experiencing with FBA inbound shipments. I have one shipment that has been marked “In Transit” for over 30 days, despite the carrier confirming it was delivered weeks ago. Not a single unit has been received.

A separate shipment of the same product — sent shortly after — is also taking an unusually long time to process, still not fully received after an extended wait.

📦 Key Details: Shipments consist of large, multi-carton FBA stock. Tracking shows delivery confirmed Amazon status: still “In Transit” with zero received units

Seller Support Response:“Amazon is within its receiving window. No action will be taken until 27/07.”

📉 Business Impact: This product is a key replenishment item Risk of stockout and sales loss is growing. The inbound stock is still counted against restock limits, restricting other shipmentsIt’s frustrating to be told to maintain inventory when delays are on Amazon’s end❓

Questions for the Community: Has anyone else seen long delays recently with certain shipments, especially bulkier ones? Did your units eventually get received or did you need to escalate/reconcile? Any tips for getting a faster resolution?

Thanks in advance for any shared experiences — this is becoming a real challenge to manage when trying to keep a catalogue in stock.

Best regards,

James

FBA receiving more than I sent
by Seller_Xdj0Gx8fIPNzP

I have recently noticed in 2 of my FBA shipments, Amazon received approx 120 units (60 in each) extra units than what I sent.

While I'm not complaining about getting free stock, I obviously don't want this to be at the expense of another seller, which I feel it likely is. I also don't want this to cause any problems in the future.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone recommend the best course of action for this?

Thanks.
