This feature is available to existing Inventory Management subscribers. Learn more about using the ShippingEasy Product Catalog.

At this time, we are not currently developing new features or functionality for our Inventory solution. This means that at this time we cannot address the issues you have with the current system. However, we do expect that in 2022, we will be introducing a new and improved Inventory experience.

To meet consumer demand for a quick turnaround time, Amazon has set its current default handling time to 1 - 2 days. If you know you may not be able to meet this metric, you can update your handling time to a range that still allows you to quickly fulfill your orders while setting reasonable expectations with your customers

In ShippingEasy, you can set different handling times based on a Product SKU level or on your Amazon store level.

How to: Set a Handling Time on the SKU level

For individual products in your Amazon store that are going to take longer to fulfill, you can set a different handling time for that SKU.

  1. Click INVENTORY and select PRODUCT CATALOG from the drop-down.
  2. Click the item SKU number you wish to set the handling time for.
