The estimated delivery time is the date and time at which a shipment is expected to arrive at its final destination. It can be calculated using the formula: Estimated delivery date = Today's date + Processing time (if any) + Shipping time.
Processing time: The time it takes to create and prepare orders for shipment.
Shipping time or transit time: The time it takes for the package to be in transit with the shipping carrier.
For example, if the processing time of an item is 3-5 days, and the shipping time of the chosen shipping method is typically 2-4 days, the estimated delivery date should be 5-9 days from today.
By setting up estimated delivery date to display on your product page, you can help your customers quickly make decision of purchasing your product and avoid any unnecessary confusion.
Your customer's location will be automatically detected when showing the estimated delivery date.
The estimated delivery date can also be displayed below each shipping method in the checkout page to help your customers select the most appropriate shipping method for their order.
The estimated delivery date is calculated based on the shipping time set up for each shipping rate. To set up the estimated delivery date:
From your ShopBase admin site, go to Settings > Shipping.
In the shipping zone you want to set up, click Edit. You can add a new shipping zone by clicking Add shipping zone.
In the type of shipping rate you want to set up, click Add rate to add a new rate, or click Edit to edit an existing rate.
In Shipping time, enter the estimated delivery date.
