Handling time

[nalak.lk2015]

Hi Community,

I want to know about handling time. I mean that's how important it is when selling products. How long is it good for?

Thank you.

I do.

I think 2 days or 3 days are good.

Most sellers have 2 or 3 days handling time

Handling time is the amount of time it takes you from the time of receiving payment until you get the customer's purchase into the mail stream on its way to the customer.  In today's economy it is important that you keep your handling time to a minimum as most buyers want instant gratification.

Frankly, owing to the political upheaval and dire economic condition currently prevailing in your country, I would think that a long handling time would not be good for your business.  Good luck and try to stay safe.

I also have 5 days handling time. 

Post office trips are a time-consuming activity for me, what to say of being exposed to covid when waiting in line, so three days a week is the maximum for me, which could cause problems if I have to miss a trip or two for any reason. 

While the longer ship time may deter some buyers, at least they are less likely to be impulse purchases. 

Many times the packages do get posted a day or two after payment, so buyers are always pleasantly surprised to receive their item earlier than expected.

You have no control how fast your item will sell.

You have control how fast it gets put in the mail after it sells. That is called your handling time.  Buyers want items shipped quickly after they pay. In the US buyers are spoiled.  There are sites here where you can order online and it gets delivered to your door in a couple of hours.
