- Added multiple new WFS and seller-fulfillment features including GTIN exemptions for private labels/handmade/resold items, expanded LCL origin pickup ports in China, and Multichannel Solutions enhancements supporting Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu, and Shein fulfillment.
- Tightened seller performance standards by making Late Shipment Rate (≤5%) an accountable, enforceable metric effective end of July 2026, putting self-fulfilling sellers at risk of losing good standing.
- Required immediate API updates for two carrier rebrands — AxleHire → Jitsu and Estes → Estes Forwarding Worldwide — with validation failures already active after their respective deadlines, blocking order status updates for non-compliant sellers.
- Updated Expected Ship Date calculation for seller-fulfilled orders with lag time >0, potentially shortening ship windows and requiring sellers to review and adjust fulfillment lag time settings to avoid late shipment penalties.
