Estimated Delivery Dates - Usage Scenario

Clear delivery timing before the order is placed
  • Profile
    An online store whose support inbox was dominated by "when will it arrive?" messages.
  • Challenge
    Checkout listed several shipping methods with prices but no delivery dates. Carrier service names like "Express" or "Priority" told shoppers nothing about the actual arrival date, and the date also depends on things a carrier name cannot express — when the warehouse processes the order, whether the order made that day's cut-off, and weekends and holidays. So shoppers emailed support to ask when their order would arrive before placing it.
  • Solution
    With Calcurates Estimated Delivery Dates, the merchant configured processing time, order cut-off time, non-working days and the warehouse schedule, then layered carrier transit time onto each shipping method. Delivery date information was also added inside tooltips.
  • Stack
    Calcurates Estimated Delivery Dates + checkout shipping methods + processing and cut-off times + warehouse calendar + carrier transit times.
  • Outcome
    Every method at checkout now shows an expected delivery date that already accounts for the warehouse schedule and cut-off time, so shoppers can see what a faster method actually buys them — and the most common pre-purchase support question disappeared.
  • Timeline
    3–4 business days for setup, once the requirements are confirmed and the customer has provided all the required information.
Very powerful app and superb support. One underrated feature is customizing info messages in Shopify checkout - impossible without Shopify Plus. This lets you display expected delivery dates, superior to transit time. The developers have thought of almost everything. While complex, nearly everything is intuitive. Highly recommend.

We implemented Calcurates with our M2
website and could not be happier. The tech support is always on top of any questions and the setup process was straight forward. This app has given us the ability to do custom shipping rates for specific products with ease.
Rider Shack
5.0
We have very complex table rate requirements for our shipping. We needed exact delivery dates and time slots. Highly accurate pricing is very important to us due to the expensive cost of shipping our products on pallets. No other software company/service offered anything near. Calcurates delivered impeccable custom solutions. Now these features are available for anyone to use.
