May Day is coming, sellers on Amazon Japan should pay attention to this change!

It is reported that on April 26, Amazon Japan issued an announcement that a "holiday settings" option has been added to the shipping settings.

 

In the announcement, Amazon stated that now, the "Holiday Settings" option has been added to the shipping settings, making it easier for sellers to change holiday settings according to their work schedule and workload.

 

Amazon’s announcement is as follows:




It is understood that International Labor Day is not a statutory holiday in Japan. Japan's Golden Week holiday is from May 2 to May 6. International Labor Day is still a working day and will still be counted into the order processing time, so sellers need to change the product's seller-fulfilled Prime or expedited delivery options to standard delivery options.

 

In addition, in addition to informing sellers that the "Holiday Settings" option has been added to the shipping settings, Amazon Japan also issued an announcement to remind sellers to configure their account settings for the May Day holiday.

 

It is reported that Amazon issued an announcement stating that with the May Day International Labor Day approaching, if sellers need to take a break during the Golden Week holiday , sellers need to configure their account settings for this long holiday, including changing product status, processing time (preparation time) and delivery options to avoid negative impacts on account status.

 

Because if the goods are in the FBA warehouse , Amazon will still show that the listing is on sale and will continue to sell and ship while you are on vacation, so if there are any customer inquiries, you need to respond in a timely manner.

 

In addition, Japan Post recently announced that it will implement a special surcharge for EMS from June 1, 2021. In addition, the previously suspended EMS service to the United States is expected to be restarted.

 

In addition, additional fees will also be charged from the same day. As for the reason for levying additional surcharges, Japan Post said that due to the impact of the epidemic, air transport volume has decreased and transportation costs have continued to rise. The additional surcharges only apply to special areas, including Oceania, North and Central America, the Middle East, Europe and other regions.

 

The May Day holiday is approaching. If sellers want to have undisturbed leisure time and also want their business on Amazon not to be affected after the holiday, they should make relevant settings in advance according to Amazon ’s announcement.
