Frequently asked questions
Overall
What is the program cost?
What is the duration of a SAS contract?
A standard contract is 12 months. At this time we are not offering trials.
When can my service start?
Once you have committed to service with your VM, you will be added to our pipeline for enrollment. Wait times vary based on the volume of demand we are experiencing.
If I enroll in SAS Signature, can I expect to receive different or preferential treatment when it comes to Amazon’s policies?
No. Amazon’s policies are the same for all vendors and applied equally, regardless of whether you’re enrolled in our program or not.
Your account manager
Will my account manager be dedicated to my brand (1:1 ratio)?
Our program structure is based on a centralized model. You have our commitment to delivering a high level of service. We flex up or down on resources as needed to best service an account; this includes backend team support as well as AM support. An AM may service more than one account.
What if I am unhappy with the level of service I am receiving?
Vendor satisfaction is a key indicator of our program's and AM's success. It is essential that you participate in our monthly surveys so that we can collect your feedback and action any areas of concern. We also provide a real time feedback link in each AM’s email signature for immediate feedback. You are encouraged to share positive and negative program feedback with our management team and will be provided a direct point of contact that manages your AM.
I’ve read the FAQs, but I still have questions. Who can I contact for more information?
