With this 'new math' for OTDR Amazon is using they told us they would implement a MAXIMUM 5 day transit time, they have not done that...they claim that if you put 5-8 days in your settings it will be 5 days but that is wrong, we put 5-8 days in for Florida and it changed our transit times to 8-12 days! this is way too long and makes us ineligible for the buy box (and it's NOT a maximum 5 days!)...why the huge discrepancy and where is our fixed 5 day transit time?

I also can't figure out why on earth they won't give us a 3-5 day or 4-6 day transit time...why the big jump from 2-4 days all the way to 5-8? is this system just set up to make FBM sellers fail? combine that with removing our 2 day transit time and the 'new math' amazon is using it appears they are just forcing us into early retirement!

do we at least get a severance check since you are clearly downsizing us off the platform?

We set our standard shipping template for west coast at 5-8 days. Not sure how new this little caution sign has appeared but this is non sense

( CAUTION For all SKUs except media, such as Books, Magazines, DVDs, Standard Shipping transit time will be calculated using 5 days if 5-8 days is set. This only applies to contiguous US states )

We ship from NJ. Our lighter items under 1 pound are now being forced to ship priority mail. This is not cost effective for cheap items. We set it to 5-8 days but its being calculated at 5 days.

We dont offer free economy option. Our standard shipping is free. Our expedited shipping has a cost associated.

Any work arounds? I just tried to add free economy but it doesnt let me set the transit times to faster then 3-5 days which is why we dont offer free economy.
