When are the new draconian pick up rules being put in place?
Amazon have been making it harder and harder for us to work with them.
Now with the 4pm cut off and being forced to process orders on weekends, I don't think we can continue.
Currently I've been allowed to set my own cut off time, but forced to process orders on weekend (sunday). Does anyone know when the cut-off time will be enforced?

Is this anything to do with SFP?
I am not aware about any new rules for standard FBM sellers and hope nothing is coming in.
Any references or links you can share?

As above - all those are references to SFP by the sounds of things (and as far as I am aware, have been the SFP rules for some time!
Hope they don't brign in weekend despatch!

if it is SFP i dont know if there is any rule against it but you could just swap your listings to a non-prime shipping method with a longer delivery time at say 2pm if thats when you wanted the cutoff and then back again after 4pm.
Even friday at 2pm through till sunday 4pm /monday if you dont want to post weekends, yes you'll lose prime sales during these windows but would give you the flexibility you need.
I understand there are things you HAVE to do under SFP to get and keep the prime badge, but for those hours/days you won't technically be offering SFP and won't have the badge.
use an excel spreadsheet could do this for all your listings and would take a few minutes.
Then again I might be wrong (i frequently am:))

These rules only apply if you have the Prime badge and are SFP. If you can't work to these requirements you just need to switch off Prime - this is the only way to avoid those rules.
