Delayed and dropped messages

We try to get you SMS text message notifications as fast as possible, but sometimes delays can occur. Mobile network congestion or other processing delays and errors on your mobile carrier's side can result in delivery delays or failures. If you're receiving non-Amazon text messages with delays as well, you may want to get in touch with your mobile carrier. The Amazon seller SMS text messaging service is provided on an "as is" basis. As a result, we are not liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of SMS text messages.

Amazon is not liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any text messages sent to or from you in connection with this service. We provide this service on an 'as is' basis. Please continue to use Seller Central as the primary means of managing your orders and seller account.
