Amazon Cuts FBA Shipment Delivery Window to 7 Days for 5 European Markets Starting September 1

As of September 1, Amazon announced that it will adjust its FBA logistics rules for the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain starting September 1, 2026. The delivery window for international shipments using non-partnered carriers will be shortened from the original 14 days to 7 days, aligning with the standard for intra-European shipments. Under the new regulations, when sellers create shipments on the Send to Amazon platform, they must manually fill in an expected delivery window within a 7-calendar-day period. If a shipment arrives early, it may be rejected due to lack of appointment or be placed in a waiting queue; if a shipment arrives late, it will directly lose inbound priority and require rescheduling, which will in turn affect inventory stocking progress and order fulfillment efficiency during the Q4 peak season including Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Shipments using Amazon's Partnered Carrier, Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) or SEND services will not be affected by this adjustment, as their delivery windows will still be automatically generated by the system.
