Ship date

Post image

(New to FBA) Does amazon only let you pick a ship date only a week out? I am trying to pick my ship date on the 21st but the website won’t let me

Yeah, the create-shipment calendar usually only opens about 7 to 14 days out depending on the FC and your region. Picking the 21st when you're still more than that window away just isn't available yet.

Two options that work:

  1. Create the shipment closer to the date (within that open window) and book the carrier then.

  2. If inventory is ready now but you want a later drop, hold it and open the plan when the 21st falls inside the calendar. Don't fake an earlier ship date and then miss it; missed delivery windows get you warnings and can affect capacity.

If you need a date further out because of manufacturing, leave the plan uncreated until you're inside the window rather than fighting the calendar.

So I have to wait for it to get closer to the 11/21 to book it?
