URGENT: VTR Dropped to 73.68% Due to Hermes/Evri Carrier Confusion – Account at Risk of Deactivation
Hello Sellers and Amazon Moderators,
I am a new Amazon seller, and I urgently need help regarding my Valid Tracking Rate (VTR), which has dropped to 73.68%, putting my account at serious risk of deactivation.
The issue occurred because I mistakenly selected Hermes instead of Evri during shipment confirmation. As Hermes is the old name of Evri, I was not aware that this would result in invalid tracking defects.
Important points:
All tracking numbers provided are valid and fully trackable on the Evri website
All orders were shipped on time
The issue is only due to carrier name selection, not invalid tracking
I have already:
Updated all affected orders to Evri
Verified all tracking links are active and working
Contacted Seller Support multiple times
However, I was informed that:
The VTR report only considers the initial carrier selection
Updates made later do not change the VTR status
Because of this:
My old Hermes orders are still being counted as invalid
My VTR is continuously dropping
My account is now at high risk of deactivation
This is extremely concerning because the tracking is 100% valid, and the issue occurred only due to a new seller mistake and lack of knowledge.
I fully understand the policy now and confirm that:
I will always select Evri correctly going forward
This mistake will not happen again
I kindly request an Amazon moderator to:
Escalate this case to the Performance Team
Review and consider removing the VTR defects, as this was a genuine mistake and not invalid tracking
I would greatly appreciate any urgent support or guidance, as my account is at immediate risk.
Thank you in advance.

Hello @Seller_Help @Amazon,
My account is at risk of deactivation due to VTR.
Requesting urgent escalation and moderator assistance please.

are you sure that’s the reason - I use Evri but always put Hermes as the carrier. I’m on 100% vtr

Take a look at the following thread, think amazons VTR is an issue for quite a few other accounts not just your own at the moment

We were fobbed off by Amazon, showed them this thread and they suddenly opened an investigation into it.
