Delivery delay due to Hurricane Helene
My condolences to everyone affected by Hurricane Helene.
If you are located in the regions impacted by this natural disaster, there will be disruptions to carriers’ pick-up and delivery of customer orders due to the damage to roadways and other infrastructure. We recommend changing your listing status to inactive if you are unable to ship customer orders.
As the storm’s impact becomes clearer, you have the option to remain active and increase your handling time.
If you have existing orders, we recommend you inform buyers that it will take longer than expected to deliver the order by using buyer-seller messages. To send a message to buyers, go to Communicate with buyers using the Buyer-Seller messaging service.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Stay safe out there!

For those sellers who were unfortunate enough to experience impacts far exceeding any predictions, will Amazon be forgiving of late shipment and similar hits to metrics?
And also, for those who have had their handling time changed to a value lower than they wanted, will they now be able to change it back? Reports are that the people who were "rewarded" for prompt shipping by having their handling time reduced to 1 day do not have the option to return it to 2 days.

I am not understanding why Amazon has not announced anything for those impacted by this. I am sorry, but if your a seller who shipped out items 1-3 days or so before this storm hit, those packages in transit can still be delayed. Also, you do not always know your power is going to go out. We never lose power. We get hit with a lot of snow here every year which normally leaves most places without power, and we never lose power, but after this storm passed and everything was over, a few hours later our power went out and was out for three days. Sure I could put a pause on the listings that I have going from that point, but what about what already sold?
Moments like this allow Amazon the chance to show sellers that they do care and unless I have missed something, this was a lost one.

what about areas we have Shipped TO that are now affected by these delays? will the otdr metric be put on pause for these areas? How does this work for areas exponentially affected? i personally was not affected as a seller/shipper, but i have probably 10+ orders going to areas that maybe were just this last week. i have no way to know what is delayed and whats not delivery wise. i just have to ship and then be affected by this dumb metric because i have AHT exemptions for everything i sell due to them being custom handmade. i cant imagine what bigger sellers are doing. This is once again a prime example of why the otdr metric is a bad bad idea.
Seller_8LDS13Dwga70G
We should not be on the hook for all of these annexes holding packages because of the hurricane or routes being disrupted. Amazon expects us to ship on time. We ship on time and a hurricane hits when they are in route. Customers are already demanding refunds and filing A-Z claims on me. This is not right, us sellers should be exempt from delays causes by natural disasters. Seriously...

We recommend changing your listing status to inactive if you are unable to ship customer orders.
So, Amazon recommends we ALL go on "Vacation Mode" rather than take a chance that a Buyer chooses to have their order Delivered to an address that might be delayed due to being in an "Affected area?
So, NO SALES for the 4th QTR because of Hurricanes in the Southeast and Blizzards in the Northeast? THAT is what Amazon suggests on how to avoid their OTDR from falling below 90%?
Well, it IS true that if you Sell NO products, you will have NO orders to Ship, and so be default you will have NO OTDR defects.
Except that neither YOU nor Amazon gets ANY income.
In the BIGGEST selling time of the Year.
THAT is Amazon's BEST suggestion?
Amazon, we Sellers have NO ability to control WHERE an Buyer directs an Amazon Order to be Delivered, and we would NOT even know the Delivery destination until AFTER we receive the order, when the clock has begun on the Ship-By window.
As the storm’s impact becomes clearer, you have the option to remain active and increase your handling time.
But without the ability to change the Handling time for a specific area, we would have to treat EVERY destination with the same elongated Handling Time.
AND without being able to change the Handling Time all at once, a Seller would have to edit each listing manually (Once Again, after we all had to do this recently when Amazon defaulted to 1-Day Handling time).
And for SOME of these affected areas, an extra day or two will NOT make any difference!
So Amazon considers it to be OUR responsibility to VET the current Deliver-ability of EVERY address for EVERY Order BEFORE it ships so we can warn the Buyer of a possible delay? Does Amazon recommend any specific website that can provide this up-to-the-minute info for the accessibility of each Delivery address?
And even IF the Seller contacts the Buyer, NOWHERE does Amazon state that they will be AT ALL forgiving to how these delays will affect a Seller's ODTR!
And Nowhere does it state that Amazon will NOT count it against a Seller who, unable to receive a reply from the Buyer concerning the package being sent into an area with a questionable Delivery status, is forces to either ship the order and take the OTDR "Hit", or Cancel the Order and take the "Pre-fulfillment Cancel Rate".
No matter WHAT choice the Seller makes, Amazon will PUNISH them!
The Hurricane-created Delivery Delays was predicted by me as soon as the OTDR was dropped on Sellers, and now we see how Amaozn plans to handle it... They plan to Pass the Responsibility ENTIRELY to the Seller!
JUST WAIT until the Blizzards start hitting, and the OTDR takes a REAL beating!
Amazon, this is a CLEAR indication that the OTDR was a poorly-conceived notion with tremendously destructive consequences to Sellers, and are ALL completely BEYOND the Sellers ability to Control!
Amazon, NOW is the time to ABANDON this OTDR Metric completely! You dropped-it on us, you can just as easily Eliminate it..
Actually, deactivating it is even easier than enacting it!
Kill it! It is the SMART thing to do to prevent irreparable Harm to multiple Sellers of Good Standing through NO Fault of their own.
There are my concerns as requested...

How is this not yet an "event" that will affect OTDR? Why are promise extensions not part of that calc (I mean: explain how that makes sense, not: quote the documentation to me again)?
I take it regional FBA will be going on vacation as well? We don't want to overpromise to the buyers.
And we in no way will get penalized for increasing our handling time, when the new OTDR metric is designed to minimize it (to the extent that sellers are holding back shipments). Right?
Still waiting to hear what HANDLING time has to do with TRANSIT time, especially if we can't buy faster shipping without losing protections.
