Feature Request: Decouple ‘days we can ship’ from ‘days that shipments move’
-
Feature request because anybody dealing with international holidays may run into this issue.
About half our stock is at a 3PL in China, and I want to configure a rule for the upcoming Chinese National Day Holiday. For 7 full days all of China is on vacation. So our 3PL won’t ship on these dates.
BUT if a shipment goes out first (for example, we ship something on September 27th) then the shipment will proceed as normal.
For now, I have set up Custom ‘Skipped dates’ for October 1 to 7.
The problem now is that the date calculation appears to include all 7 of those ‘skipped’ days into account when calculating the delivery date, so a customer ordering on September 27 might see a delivery date of September 27 + maximum days range + 7 days skipped days = delivery date, which is wrong and will lead to fewer sales.
Especially since we’re anticipating a lot of Halloween related sales and China planned their holiday at exactly he wrong time, lol.
