For flowers, cakes, fresh food, furniture or gifts, “when will it arrive?” matters as much as the price. Letting customers choose the date removes the doubt, and helps you plan.
Who needs it
- Florists and bakers: a birthday is on a precise day.
- Caterers and fresh food: someone must be home.
- Furniture and bulky items: delivery by appointment.
Only offer dates you can keep
- A lead time (tomorrow at the earliest, for example).
- A cut-off hour: after 2 pm, one more day.
- Days without delivery and holidays.
Time slots
Morning or afternoon is often enough, and much easier to respect than one-hour windows.
