FedEx Module Ship Date

Hi,

Is there a way for a customer to enter a desired ship date when they are ordering?

Dunno, but if they could, almost everyone will be trying to enter 'yesterday' so they can get the order delivered 'today'

I know I would.

Seriously, I can appreciate that some merchants would/could have a need for this, but from a practical sense, it isn't really for the customer to decide when you are able to ship.

There is nothing to prevent you from adding a bit of text somewhere to advise your customers that if they don't want the parcel shipped until a certain date they should mention this in the comments box when placing the order.

Simple, but effective

Cheers

The reason I'm asking is because there is an issue with Saturday delivery where FedEx charges more. So for instance, if someone places an order on Friday then they will automatically be charged Saturday rate even though their order will not be shipped Friday. And visa versa, where we would ship Friday for Saturday delivery but they would not be paying the Saturday rate.

Also, we sell a perishable product so it would be better if people choose a ship date where they are going to be home to receive it. If anyone knows how to do this please contribute.
