Prime Shipping Willing to Wait?
Can someone please explain why I am seeing listings for some of my Prime Items that say “willing to wait?” Its on the right side in a grey box. Unless I match the merchant listing price lately, My FBA items are on page 2, (my price is only a dollar more) This doesn’t jive, I pay more for a Prime Seller Account, more to ship it to FBA, then now I am seeing the customer is now being offered a “willing to wait?” option. Seriously? I have over 50 of these items in stock TODAY, and the customer is being given an option to wait almost 10 days. (July 29-Aug 1) I can get that sooner from China sometimes on Ebay. Not good. Customer Service is no help. I added a photo.

I don’t have a clue what they are doing.
Can share another example that is just as bad.
One of my listings amazon has placed a full page width banner at the top that states:
Lower Priced Items to Consider
Within that bar it shows 3 of of the NON-USA and competitive items that are using prime.
Now, it gets better.
I lower my price to way below all of them and the banner does not appear on any of their listings…

@seller_000012, there’s a new-ish feature for Prime customers called Amazon Day, where they can choose a day of the week for all orders to be delivered.
I am not positive, but if you were viewing your items from a Prime account, this might have been a feature related to that program.

The “Willing to Wait” option used to offer perks to customers that chose that option. But I was under the impression that they phased that out. So I’m not sure why they still offer it.
However, just remember, they are offering this to the buyer – not making them do it. (At least that’s how it used to be.)

This is what I saw on my own Prime order just now, at checkout as @Debranator mentioned:
Nothing says “Willing to wait?” in that space, but there is a “reward” on the longest shipping option.
So once again, @seller_000012–here’s more info that doesn’t answer your question but hopefully narrows things down a bit.
