AMAZON being bully
I have been selling on Amazon for 2 years now. I have accepted everything they have thrown at me, like fake returns, fake reviews, fake orders, etc. I have been using self ship because they easy ship guys used to come once every 3-4 days (Amazon never accepted it though). The courier I was using have a reputation of slow delivery. That is why the buyers were also complaining for faster delivery.
This is why I decided to switch to a premium courier service. As expected their charges are high, but the transit time is very low. I updated my shipping template as per the new transit time, which is mostly 1-3days. But now AMAZON decided that the transit time can not be this low and they have updated them to 5-7 days n the product page.
Upon conversation with support guy, he said the shipping team updated them "to set realistic expectations for potential buyers based on the performance of the preferred shipping carriers."
Are they doing this intentionally to promote their easy ship ? I mean why is there even an option for the seller to set the transit time in the first place ?
