Our business is closed on the weekends. We offer UPS ground shipping. Orders that come in after cut-off time on Friday, will give the customer an estimated delivery date of Monday if they chose ground delivery. The dates just never seem to be accurate.
I would also like Shopify to consider offering merchants the option of setting our own cut-off time for shipments.
Thank you for your question!
Automated delivery dates uses your store’s actual processing times and delivery history to predict when an order will arrive. These predictions learn from your operations over time and automatically adjust if your processing times change based on order characteristics or the days of the week you typically fulfill orders.
Manual delivery dates give you more control over your processing time expectations and automatically exclude weekends and holidays. They generate a delivery date range by adding your selected processing time to the transit times defined in your shipping rates.
If you prefer a delivery date option that automatically excludes weekends and holidays and gives you full control over processing time expectations, we recommend using manual delivery dates.
