What it means

SW (Shipping Window) is the time window for sending goods to Amazon FBA, typically defined by season and sales volume. During peak periods (e.g. Q4), window deadlines can be stricter to manage fulfillment capacity. Amazon communicates window dates per shipment in Seller Central. Sellers should plan deliveries early to meet deadlines and avoid rejections.
