I'm uncertain, but I want to clarify the recent email about Multi Platform Fulfilment we all got. It specifically applies to sellers who utilize Amazon to fulfill orders from other platforms such as eBay and Shopify. Amazon recently set a deadline for compliance, which was about a week ago. It stated some date in October for this, but as far as im concerned from last year, we shipped FBA stock replenishment up until 17th December.

Personally I would recommend getting it in as soon as possible, there were a lot of frustrated sellers on here last year who sent in goods which were then held and not put on sale until 3-4 days before Christmas, and subsequently were of course not sold.
There have been a air few reports of delays at the moment as well, some people have been waiting up to 3 weeks for shipments to get checked in, although others are seeing service as normal.
The centres will get busier the closer it gets to Christmas, so you need to make your own decision, also bear in mind that the workers still have a strike mandate, so could go back on strike with a couple of weeks notice - if they are anything like the train drivers then they may well decide to target the Christmas rush.
