What happened?
TikTok Shop US has introduced temporary fulfillment-time relief for the 2026 Black Friday and Cyber Monday event. The event runs from November 11 to November 30, 2026, and eligible orders may receive longer fulfillment SLAs. From November 11 to 24, the dispatch, automatic-cancellation, and delivery deadlines for Local Shipping and International Shipping will each increase by one business day or one calendar day, respectively; from November 25 to December 1, they will increase by up to two business days or two calendar days; and from December 2 to 5, they will increase by one additional day. The arrangement applies to standard and auction orders participating in the event, but excludes pre-orders and Back Orders. A seller's Late Dispatch Rate over the past 30 days must not exceed 20%, and the platform will monitor performance daily. If there are frequent SLA misses, products may be removed from the event. Cross-border sellers need to recheck promised dispatch times in international warehouses, overseas warehouses, and APIs.
