Location Settings - Cut Off Times |
Scroll |
Use the Cut Off Times screen in the Settings section of a location to add, edit, delete cut off times for use by Parcel.
A cut off time for a carrier tells Parcel when to begin a new shipping day for that carrier. For example, if DHL allows you to ship until 2 AM tomorrow but still considers the ship date to be today, you can set the cut-off for DHL to be 2 AM. Parcel will then use the previous day's ship date for DHL packages processed from midnight until 2 AM.
