Need shipping carrier rates calculated by future ship date not order date

I am selling bread that I take orders on by the Friday of each week that then ship the to the customer the next week based on the customers selected bake/ship day. My shipping methods that I allow are only overnight and two day because it is a perishable good. I am running a test order and it is a Friday. I have in my cart a loaf of bread that will be a Tuesday bake and ship. Because I am ordering on a Friday the calculated shipping rates are only giving me an overnight option and not a 2 day. How do I get my rates to calculate based on actual ship day and not order date? Is there an app for this? Or should my two day shipping option still be showing up if I order on a Friday and this is just an error?

 

Lastly, is there a better way/app to set up sales like this?

 

I need help! Thank you 🙂

Hi @BloomBread04 - Great question there. We have a number of customers who sell perishable items such as ice cream, bakery, and meals. I see you're trying to configure shipping options based on when you'd be able to ship the bread. This may need some changes to the days you actually ship the product. You can start a 15-day free trial of ShipperHQ app and our team can help you configure your checkout options as per your needs.
