Estimated Delivery Date
Last week I have discovered that my estimated delivery date has become one week longer, that is doubled!
I have already opened a case twice, hoping to get a solution.
I have also discovered that last January, on the forum, there was a debate, because several sellers had the same issue.
However at that time, the possible cause was the Royal Mail strike, while now, it must be another reason.
Any idea, or solution?
Thank you for your kind attention.

DO you have SSA Shipping Setting Automation switched on?

P.S. I'm based in UK and selling mostly to UK customers.

I have had this issue constantly for the past year or so. I have found it is worse if I turn off the SSA turned off.
It seems to go up and down, I find I get a surge in sales and check the listings to find Amazon have decided that I can now deliver more quickly for some reason.
The ETA does depend on your location and that of the customer. The system somehow manages to work out, across all sellers as far as I know, whether areas have been getting more delays recently. If they deem your area as a slow area and that of the customer then I suppose they put the ETA up really high.
I find it frustrating though as although they up the front end ETA they keep our targets the same. So if I am sending something today (Mon) it shows on my admin that it should be delivered by Wednesday, but on the listing it will say the following Wednesday. So then if the delivery isn't made within 2 days they start sending out the messages urging customers to claim a refund, even though the customer had not been expecting it for another week anyway.
As you have, I tried reaching out to CS and just get the same copy paste responses.
