From 15 July 2026 Amazon newly requires seller-fulfilled (FBM) merchants on Amazon.de to maintain an On-Time Delivery Rate of at least 90%, with similar standards rolling out in other European stores; offers that stay persistently below the threshold can be deactivated from 1 September 2026.

From 15 July 2026 Amazon removed the two-day default handling-time option for FBM accounts in Germany and the UK, leaving only 0- or 1-day, so existing two-day defaults convert to one day; from 1 September 2026 SKUs consistently shipping faster than their stated handling time for 30+ days are switched to Automated Handling Time.
