What Amazon's notification says
“Your account has been deactivated because your Late Shipment Rate exceeded the target”
Seller-fulfilled orders shipped or confirmed late at a rate above Amazon's standard.
This is arithmetic. Give Amazon the numbers, the cause of the spike, and the operational change with a date. Narrative does not move a metric.
Governing clause: BSA §3(d) — performance below standard.
| Requirement | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Late Shipment Rate under 4% | Program Policiessellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/521 |
| Shipments confirmed within the expected ship window | Program Policiessellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/521 |
Late Shipment Rate must stay under 4%. Appeals here are arithmetic — give Amazon the numbers, the cause of the spike, and the operational change with a date.
A Plan of Action for this violation has to address these specifics. Vague answers here are the most common reason a well-intentioned appeal is denied.
