Offer faster regional deliveries with Premium Shipping
You can now offer customers faster 1 and 2-day regional deliveries through Premium Shipping.
The Premium Shipping program lets you set competitive shipping rates or offer free shipping, which can help grow your sales with faster delivery times for your customers.
To be eligible, you must be an active seller on Amazon for a minimum of 90 days. Once you enable Premium Shipping on your shipping template, you must consistently meet the following requirement thresholds:
- Maintain a 93.5% or higher on-time delivery rate
- Achieve a 99% or higher valid tracking rate
- Keep seller-initiated cancellations below 0.5%
Additionally, you can get protection from late shipments impacting your on-time delivery rate (OTDR) if you enable Shipping Settings Automation on your shipping templates, purchase shipping labels marked as "OTDR Protected" on Amazon Buy Shipping or Veeqo, and you ship on time.

Premium Shipping has been around for a long time. What exactly is new here?

NO! How about Amazon stopping all the commercial customer who already know how to manipulate FREE expedited shipping by changing business delivery hours causing orders to be late triggering expedited shipping or late delivery risk then if late they file complaint and Amazon gives them FREE!

I'm confused. Is anything new being added? Or is this just a awareness announcement?

WHAT IS NEW HERE? WHY IS THIS NEWS?
Also, does anyone remember when you could do this exact same thing and call it "REGIONAL PRIME". Yep, in the good old days two day delivery was called "PRIME" and you could offer it to your customers free AND get the buy box.
I miss sanity so much.

This is just money grab as USPS has been intentionally slowed down and now Amazon wants you to pay more for expedited and this still does not address the fact that customers especially Business can mark their business closed for delivery and instead of Amazon allowing extra time for days closed Amazon counts closed days against your shipping timeframe punishing you and against you for being late on issue caused by Amazon allowing customers to mark delivery days closed and for this reason we changed our open deliver business hours to only 2 days a week so tired of this nonsense to generate issue causing more revenue!

It appears 5-8 is not long enough for Amazon not to force feed sellers higher shipping prices! My customers do not need items tomorrow they just want the items and if they want faster then they pay for faster and they choose not to! However Amazon forcing faster shipping at higher costs is wrong and we will cancel all orders Amazon does this on as our item cost along with Amazon fees higher shipping and fact Amazon is price fixing product with pricing errors along with tariffs soon we will no longer sell items on Amazon and migrate every item back to the beginning platform. FIX THE CURRENT ISSUES BEFORE CREATING NEW MESS AND HIRE HUMANS INSTEAD OF AI!~
