Repeated delays in AWS SES Production Access approval despite multiple follow-ups

0

Hello,

We submitted a request for Amazon SES Production Access for transactional email only. We have provided all required information and have followed up multiple times. Our AWS Account Manager has also been informed, but we have not received any updates or a reason for the delay.

This is impacting our production deployment.

Has anyone experienced similar delays? Is there an additional escalation process beyond the AWS Support case? CASE ID 178524024600609

Any guidance from the AWS team or community would be appreciated.

I understand how frustrating delays in SES Production Access approval can be, especially when it impacts your production deployment. While I cannot access specific case details, I can provide some general guidance on this process.

Amazon SES Production Access requests are reviewed to help maintain the service's reputation and deliverability. The review process typically examines your use case, email sending practices, and compliance with AWS policies. Processing times can vary based on the completeness of information provided and current review volumes.

For your situation, the best path forward is to continue working through the AWS Support Center at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/. You can add correspondence to your existing case with any additional details that might help expedite the review, such as clarifying your transactional email use case, expected sending volumes, or how you handle bounces and complaints.

If you haven't already, ensure you've provided comprehensive information about your email sending practices, including how you obtain recipient consent, your list management processes, and your bounce/complaint handling procedures. Sometimes delays occur when reviewers need additional clarification on these points.

You may also want to review your AWS Support plan options, as different support tiers offer different response time commitments. While you wait for production access, you can continue testing in the SES sandbox environment to ensure your integration is ready once approval is granted.

The AWS Support Center remains your primary channel for updates and resolution on your specific request.
