What happened?
Amazon UK announced updates to the eligibility standards for Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP). The changes will take effect on October 30, 2026, and will continue to affect seller account evaluations in early November. The new evaluation method will no longer assess only the seller account as a whole. Instead, products will be divided into standard-size, oversize, and extra-large tiers, with weekend operations, on-time shipment, cancellation rate, and delivery method assessed separately. For standard-size products, at least 25% of buyer page views must show delivery within one day. For extra-large products, sellers may use carriers other than Amazon Buy Shipping or Easy Ship, but they must provide a valid carrier tracking number and maintain an on-time delivery rate of at least 97%. The requirements apply to cross-border sellers shipping from local UK warehouses, European warehouses, and third-party warehouses. Sellers of large products such as furniture, appliances, and sporting goods are particularly affected. Sellers that fail to meet the delivery-time requirements for the applicable product tier may lose the Prime badge and its related conversion advantages.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
SFP in the UK will be assessed separately for standard-size, oversize, and extra-large products. Manage delivery speed, weekend operations, on-time shipping, and cancellation rates at the product level. Standard-size products must show one-day delivery for at least 25% of buyer page views, while extra-large products must have valid tracking numbers and an on-time delivery rate of at least 97%; otherwise, they may lose the Prime badge and related conversion advantages.
