If you need to ship an order the same day after the normal cutoff time, you can still attempt to expedite the process by following the steps outlined below.

While we strive to accommodate rush requests, a "rush" status does not guarantee same-day shipment. Charges for rush orders will be applied as per your service level agreement.

Steps to Submit a Rush Order

  1. Prepare Your Order

    • Ensure all items are ready and the order is complete.

    • Double-check the shipping address and any special instructions.

  2. Submit the Order with "Rush" Status

    • When placing your order, select the "rush" status option.

    • If you submit orders via the API, please take a look at the API setup instructions on how to send an order in a rush.

    • If you submit the orders via our Orderpoints module, please refer to the instructions on submitting an order with a rush status.

  3. Contact Customer Service

    • If you are unable to send the order with a rush status or it is already in our system, please contact your Order Administrator. You can review the article on your support team for contact information here.

    • Provide your order number and inform them you need an order rushed.

    • Customer service will confirm receipt and prioritize the order accordingly.

  4. Timing

    • The feasibility of same-day shipment depends on the time the order is received.

    • Orders received earlier in the day are more likely to be processed for same-day shipment.

Important Considerations

  • No Guarantee: Submitting a rush order does not guarantee same-day shipment. While we will make every effort to accommodate your request, it is subject to operational constraints and the timing of your submission.

  • Additional Charges: Rush orders may incur additional charges according to the pricing agreed upon in your service level agreement.

  • Communication: Clear and timely communication with our customer service team is crucial to increasing the chances of same-day shipment.

By following these steps and understanding the considerations, you can increase the likelihood of your order being shipped the same day, even after the normal cutoff time.
