Mercado Libre Announces Holiday Shipping Deadline Exemption for China National Day: Oct 1–4 Designated as Default Non-Working Days, Sellers Can Self-Select Oct 5–7

News on September 18: Ahead of China’s National Day holiday, Mercado Libre has rolled out a shipping performance deadline exemption arrangement for self-fulfilled sellers based in Chinese mainland. October 1 to 4 are set as the platform’s default non-working days, and the system has automatically excluded this period from shipping performance assessments. For October 5 to 7, sellers can independently mark non-working days via the "Shipping on non-working days" section in the seller backend, based on their own holiday schedules and fulfillment capacity; no modifications will be allowed after the setting deadline. The platform will automatically extend order processing timelines and front-end estimated delivery dates based on both default and self-selected non-working days. If sellers set all three days from October 5 to 7 as non-working days, the total extended delivery window will reach 7 days. It is worth noting that excessively extending committed delivery times may have a negative impact on conversion rates. During the holiday period, Cainiao Express’ domestic collection warehouses, sorting centers, consolidation warehouses and stock-up warehouses will maintain normal operations.
