What to do
3 items- Review the days to delivery
Weekends and holidays don’t count as business days. Revisit your shipping cut-off time and carriers.
- Check the on-time delivery rate every week
It’s assessed every Monday over the past 7 days. Above 60% up to 70% gets only a warning the first time and reduced visibility after that. At 30% or below, orders are capped at 30% of the daily average from the first time.
- Appeal delays with an accepted reason
Delays caused by specific accepted situations can be appealed (the official guide lists the evidence needed).
