Amazon provides the
estimated delivery time to buyers on the offer listing and checkout pages. This is the
estimated time between when the buyer places the order until the order delivery
date.
Enable the following
configuration using your shipping settings:
Total Delivery Time = Handling Time +
Transit Time
(+ any holidays)
Note: Amazon calculates handling time and
transit time in business days.
-
Handling Time: The estimated
time between when the buyer places the order until you hand the order over to a
delivery service.
-
Transit Time (also known as
Shipping Time): The time elapsed between when you hand the order over to the carrier
until the delivery of the order.
Configuring an accurate delivery time for
your products help ensure a good customer experience and might improve sales.

Customers are more likely to buy items that
have faster delivery.

Items
with a faster delivery date are more likely to win the Buy Box on Amazon. For more

setting in the General Shipping Settings tab of
the Shipping Settings page. If you are not able to meet this
requirement, you can modify your handling time to reflect the amount of time you need
to prepare the order for shipment. Go to Modify
