Delivery date options

As a shopper, you have the option to select either a single delivery date or multiple delivery dates for the various products in your cart.

If you’re unsure of a delivery date, you can specify an estimated time frame for delivery. This time frame can be a term or date range. You can specify the term length and the term value in days, weeks, months, quarters, or years.

Note:

You can select a date or date range that is in the past, present, or future. If you select a date range, you must enter your requested start and end dates to proceed. Also, when you select a time frame, the order becomes a blanket type order, and you don’t need to specify a payment method during checkout.

If you have a product in your cart that has an eligible credit to be used, the option to provide a time frame is not available.

You can use the toggle feature between entire purchase and product to specify if the delivery date applies to the entire purchase or to individual products. This toggle is conditionally displayed based on predefined criteria. For example, if there’s only a single item in your cart, the toggle feature doesn’t apply and is therefore not displayed.

While you can always go with the default delivery date for the products for faster checkout, the following options are also available:

• Add another delivery date: Allows you to add a new delivery date for a product in your cart. If you have just one quantity of a product in your cart, adding new delivery dates automatically adds corresponding quantities of the same product to your cart. The quantity is recalculated in real time and reflected accordingly in the product header card as well as in the Summary section.
• Request single delivery date: Allows you to revert to a single delivery date after you have specified multiple delivery dates for the products in your cart. A warning message is displayed stating that this update shall undo all the delivery date selections that you’ve done so far.
