Same-day handling time allows you to show the customer a faster delivery promise that reflects your ability to pick, pack, and ship a product the same day of receiving an order.
To set same-day handling time you have two options:
For same-day handling time, all orders received before the order cut-off time must be shipped and confirmed during the day the order was received to avoid late shipments. All orders received after the order cut-off time must be shipped and confirmed during the next day after the order was received.
While Same-day handling time as an account default is available to all sellers, same-day handling time on shipping templates is only available to sellers that meet the following high delivery performance standards:
For products with same-day handling time enabled, the default order cut-off time for your Standard and Expedited Shipping orders is set to local time (according to the time zone of your default shipping address). You can check and edit your default order cut-off time in the General Shipping Settings tab on the Shipping Settings page, to accommodate your fulfilment operations. For more information on how to configure order cut-off times, go to Order fulfillment settings .
All orders received prior to the cut-off time will be expected to be shipped the same day. If an order is received after the cut-off time, you will be expected to ship by the next business day.

If you are eligible for Same-day handling, you will be able to enable it on your current and new Shipping Templates. This option is only applicable to Domestic Standard and Expedited Delivery options. To enable or disable Same-day handling time, you must take the following steps:
You can follow the same process to disable Same-day handling time for all the assigned SKUs. Once you disable the setting from the shipping template, the promised shipping time of the products will be calculated based on the handling Time value which is set for the SKU on the Manage Inventory.
Even if Same-day handling time for Standard and Expedited Shipping has been disabled, you are still required to ship the order same day for premium shipping options (Same-day, Next-day, and Two-day delivery).
