Dear Seller,
This is a an update on carrier shipping changes that will be in effect from Dec 15th to Dec 31st.
- Starting the week before Dec 25th, certain carriers will increase standard transit times for some ship methods. This could result in unavailability of these ship methods in Buy Shipping for orders where the extended standard transit time is outside of the customer promise delivery date. Please work directly with your carriers to understand which ship methods will be impacted and plan ahead to avoid any issues with your holiday orders.
Below are the holiday schedules published by the carriers (please review the fine print):
a) USPS: https://www.usps.com/holiday/holiday-schedule.htm
b) UPS: https://www.ups.com/assets/resources/media/UPS_PeakSeason.pdf
c) FedEx: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/service-guide/holiday-schedule.html
d) Ontrac: https://www.ontrac.com/holidayhours.asp*** Please note, you will have to maintain Buy Shipping usage rate of 98% during this period. If you have additional questions on the holiday schedule, please contact your local carrier representative.

I hope they tell everyone that and not just SFP sellers. All this is great to know though because I was going to change our handling time and that’s ALWAYS a frick’n nightmare.

We still haven’t received any notification to this effect from Amazon. I would love to be able to plan accordingly; is it officially listed somewhere that we don’t have to ship on Christmas Eve?

Are y’all primarily FBM? If not, I don’t know whether this applies to FBA. 
Just trying to figure out why you haven’t received the email (yet?).
