What is Amazon Vacation Mode?
Amazon's holiday model is a special model in which sellers cannot manage their stores in a short period of time due to special circumstances. There are two types of vacation modes: one is to set the product not to appear on amazon's website, so that orders during vacation are not accepted, and the other is to accept orders as usual during vacation and ship/reply to customers in order after the vacation ends.
Amazon Holiday Mode allows sellers to temporarily disable listing during the holiday period without worrying about negative feedback. In short, Amazon's holiday model is to suspend accounts, not close them.

How do I set the object for holiday mode?
Amazon Holiday Mode is only for FBM sellers, FBA sellers are not applicable at this time. FBM sellers still need to make sure everything is working properly while using vacation mode, including shipping, checking inventory performance issues, responding to buyer messages, and more.
If the seller's vacation time is 3 to 5 days, the purpose of vacation can be achieved by changing the delivery time.
Precautions
- "Vacation mode" does not ship for a long time, which may lead to bad reviews and reduced weight
- Leave Mode is not available for long-term settings
- Pay attention to ensuring the timeliness of "Logistics" and notifying customers of business hours
Logistics response methods during "vacation"
1. Stock stock
Sufficient stock can ensure the normal operation of the store during the vacation period and prevent the decline in product ranking due to "insufficient inventory".
2. Start the "overseas warehouse" logistics
During the seller's "vacation" period, the "overseas warehouse" delivery mode can be launched, which can be used as an FBA transfer replacement, but also has the advantage of local delivery, and the seller can also improve the ranking of store products while shortening the transportation time of goods, and increase the exposure and sales of products.
3. International EMS
International EMS is usually all year round, with fast timeliness, strong customs clearance ability, priority processing and other privileges, sellers if you encounter logistics outages can use international EMS delivery, the only drawback is that the price is more expensive, suitable for high value, light weight products, can not be used as a long-term delivery method.
