Why can't I edit an order with local delivery as the shipping method?

[Linda_Gentle]

 I am unable to edit orders for local delivery. I want to edit the order but it is telling me I can't edit an order with local delivery as the shipping method.

Why is that? I do not understand why I wouldn't be allowed to edit an order just because it was local delivery versus local pickup or standard shipping.

Hi, can everyone who still wants this feature please go to https://help.shopify.com/en and contact support (just keep asking the bot to chat with a support agent)? Ask for the feature to be able to edit Local Delivery orders and ask them to log it as a merchant frustration.

Will do, thank you

We're approaching the three-year anniversary of this post. Is there any possibility this could happen this quarter? I know there are lots of competing priorities but this is a real blocker to merchants using Local Delivery. Since Local Pickup allows editing, it would be so nice to have unified behavior.

Don't hold your breath.

Shopify have recently "depreciated" their Reviews app... so again "go third party app developer"... pay more money.

Shopify are clearly choosing PROFIT over customer retention. Such a shame.

The work around is to not offer "Local Delivery" as an option... instead differentiate by postcode... and you simply identify and pull out the local postcodes that you deliver to and do so. (I don't know if I have explained that very well?)

Hi there!
Also adding to this, it'd be great to be able to edit local delivery orders. Customers often change their mind on what they'd like delivered + we sell products that are by itself a collection of multiple other products. We'd like to add these 'sub-products' to the original local delivery order, in order for this to be correctly taken out of our inventory. 

Cheers!

Please enable my store for local delivery as I cannot able to edit order with the local delivery option

Don't hold your breath, this feature will not be resolved, it is not in their financial interest to resolve it.

There is a work around, without having to pay money.

4 years ago this issue was reported...told it was being worked on, literally year after year and you still can edit local delivery orders *frustrating*.
