For important orders that must be delivered on or before a specific day or date, please see the below for how to best facilitate this within ShipHero.
First, take into account the correct SLA/turnaround time for an order. See our guide on SLAs here.
Then, "work backwards" from the desired delivery date to choose the appropriate rate shop method (as here) or individual carrier and service.
**NOTE: 2-day and Overnight shipping options are the ONLY guaranteed options and are backed by Manifest's shipping claim policy and eligible for full reimbursement of shipping costs if not delivered by the guaranteed date set by the carrier. All other carriers and services are NOT guaranteed and therefore can only be estimated as to an arrival window. In short, if you require a shipment to be delivered by a specific date, your best option is to select a guaranteed 2-day or Overnight service.
Illustrative example:
Today is a Tuesday before 12 pm CST. Your desired delivery date is the following Monday. The order contains 30+ units with no additional handling/pack-out requirements, so is therefore a "Standard" B2B orders which requires 3 business days for processing and generating a label.
For successful delivery by end of day next Monday evening, you'd need to select an Overnight shipping option at time of order creation (or modify the order in ShipHero if it's being created from your store).
The 3 business day processing ensures we will complete the order by EOD Friday.
The Overnight option for shipping ensures the carrier will delivery by EOD Monday.
