The first step is to define when a distribution center discontinues shipping each day. This will allow UltraCart to know exactly when the shipment can occur next. To configure this go to:
| Panel |
|---|
Main Menu → Configuration → Checkout (tab) → Shipping → Methods (tab) → [edit]Edit (button for specific Shipping Method) |
Scroll down to the "Shipment Cut-off Times" section. Specify a cut-off time for each day that shipping occurs. The cut-off time should be formatted in military time and in EST zone. The image below shows an example for a shipping location in New York, shipping Monday through Friday, with a shipment cut off time of 3PM EST. Notice that the cut-off time is 15:00 in Monday through Friday.

Main Menu → → Configuration → Checkout (tab) → Shipping → Checkout Options |

Finally we need to turn on the estimated delivery on each method to real-time. To do this go to:
| Panel |
|---|
Main Menu → → Configuration → → Checkout (tab) > → Shipping → Methods → → [edit] → Estimated Delivery (Tab) |
Real-time estimation is only available on FedEx shipping at this time.
