Black Friday Shipping day?
Hi, I cant find the info regarding if we are expected to ship out orders on black friday? I do seller fulfilled only. I assume we do, but hate to bring in the warehouse guys in on a day we are closed, so here I am looking for answers, thanks in advance.

Why wouldn't you be expected to ship out on black Friday? It is still considered a business day (one of the most popular, in fact). I would plan on shipping out on Black Friday.

Black Friday is not a "holiday." No one I know gets the day off as a holiday.

For future reference, you can find all the Amazon non-shipping days/holidays for the entire year by going to Settings (gear wheel) ➡ Shipping Settings ➡General Shipping Settings, then scroll to the bottom left of the page.
Currently there are only 2 days showing, since that's all that's left this year. Come January 1, 2024, all the holidays for the entire year will be listed.

Of course you have to ship on Friday. If you don't want to bring others in to do your work for you and you don't want to do it yourself, change the handling to three days so everything can ship on Monday. Then Sunday night or even Saturday change it all back to one. Very easy, ten minute job. Amazon price and quantity template.

We're planning on shipping on Black Friday as we do everyday.
Our local PO does not have a pickup on Sundays so we drop those on Monday morning.
The UPS store we use is open on Sundays but no pickup by UPS that day.

I do seller fulfillment . I make all listings inactive on Monday night. I don’t put it back until Wednesday that way everything will ship on Monday

If you are set to standard, which is two days to ship, orders placed on or after Wednesday would not need to ship out until the Monday after "Black"

Black Friday is a regular business day. All shipping carriers are operating. Amazon is not treating it as a holiday and expects that sellers operate and ship on that day.
Having said that, make sure that you have your packages ready on Friday early. Same goes for Wednesday, November 22nd. We often see pick ups to take place 1-2 hours earlier on these days due to the small load in UPS/FedEx delivery/pick up trucks those days. Monday, November 27th, and Tuesday, is the opposite for us, usually: trucks are overloaded, a ton of deliveries are made that day. Expect pick-up to be later than usual.

Friday is a normal business day. You will be expected to ship all order you receive from Thursday.

Thursday is your only nonshipping day this week. If would would like to take the whole weekend, put your account on Vacation Mode or adjust your handling time and turn it off/readjust Monday morning.
