Does Amazon ship during the Spring Festival? What if it cannot ship?

The Spring Festival is a very important festival every year, so many industries will have holidays during the Spring Festival. For merchants who open stores on Amazon, they need to make good arrangements for holidays. So does Amazon ship during the Spring Festival?

Does Amazon ship during the Spring Festival ?

Amazon is now able to ship during the Chinese New Year, but when it comes to shipping, you need to plan ahead. First, you need to understand the time when major domestic logistics companies stop shipping and when they will go back to work after the Chinese New Year. You also need to make a rough plan, such as checking the current FBA inventory quantity, such as the average daily sales volume, and the quantity that needs to be replenished, and try to send a batch of replenishment before the logistics company goes on holiday.

For self-delivery orders, you can temporarily use a synchronized virtual tracking number to solve the problem, as long as it does not affect the store's delivery performance indicators. Now upload the special flow tracking number synchronously. It is not too late to ship the goods after the logistics work starts after the New Year. If it is for timeliness and the order volume is not large, you can choose expedited delivery and other methods to effectively avoid delayed arrival.

Or the store can temporarily set up a vacation mode, just like the Southeast Asian cross-border platform has this option. If you choose the store vacation mode, the platform may not push traffic to the store at this time, and the order volume will be affected, but you can spend the New Year safely. Or you can also use the pre-sale mode, even if the delivery is late, it will not affect the store indicators.

What if the goods cannot be shipped?

If you are unable to ship during the Spring Festival, you can also log in to the seller platform, find the "Settings, select Account Information" page, and then modify the "Holiday Settings" of "Product Status" and adjust it to "Unavailable for Sale". After you resume work, adjust the product status to "On Sale" and you can resume normal sales.

In fact, Amazon is still able to ship during the Chinese New Year, but it may not be as fast as usual. At the same time, merchants need to adjust the platform's stocking time and transportation time in a timely manner to avoid delivery delays or transportation delays, which ultimately affect delivery performance.

This is all we have to say about Amazon’s Spring Festival delivery issues. I believe all Amazon merchants should be clear about this. If there is a holiday, Amazon merchants must make arrangements in advance to avoid any impact.
