Cut off times and shipping methods are the two factors that most impact guarantee dates. Cut off times refer to the deadline by which an order must be placed in order for it to be processed and shipped on the same day. Shipping methods determine how quickly an item will be delivered, with expedited shipping options typically guaranteeing faster delivery.

The size of items and total amount of the order may have some influence on delivery times, but they are not the primary factors that impact guarantee dates.Rate this question:
