FedEx Delay Shipment Setting vs cutoff time

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In the FedEx Web Services options, you can set the Delay Shipment Setting to add a single day or multiple days to your shipments in order to buffer for pickup times, etc. - however it would be much more useful if you could set an actual cutoff time, so that order placed after a certain hour are bumped an extra day. 

I assume you cannot enter a fractional "day" (ie - .5 for 12 hours) in this field?

And to clarify: This matters most when someone wants a shipment via overnight. In our case - if they place the order after 4, we would like something to warn them that the order will be delayed.

	Unfortunately, the Delay setting does not allow for a fractional value (or partial day).
