Subject: OTDR Metric Loophole: Business Impact Due to Systemic Flaws
Dear Amazon Team,
Despite being backed by one of the world's most advanced and sophisticated technical teams, Amazon's current seller performance system — particularly the OTDR (On-Time Delivery Rate) and LDR (Late Dispatch Rate) mechanisms — contains serious loopholes that are directly impacting genuine sellers and their businesses.
It is extremely concerning that even when sellers follow every step correctly — from timely order processing to dispatching through Amazon’s own Easy Ship service — the system still penalizes them unfairly. The fact that this has been raised multiple times without a meaningful resolution indicates either a lack of accountability, or a refusal to acknowledge that the problem lies within Amazon’s internal systems — not with the sellers.
Let me be very clear:
> A large number of sellers are completely unaware that their business metrics are being silently affected due to a flaw that is not even in their control.
If I am forced to take this issue public — across LinkedIn and other professional forums — then Amazon may be faced with hundreds of similar escalations from other sellers once they realize they too are silently affected by the same loophole. The platform will then spend more time clarifying and defending a flawed system than actually fixing it.
This is not just about one case — this is about credibility, fairness, and trust.
