Delivery Date Extension Your USP!
Online shopping has increased drastically over
the past few years. To stand out, there are many
online stores that provide unique products and
services to their customers. This makes sure
that their customers are happy with the
experience and come back to them. If you are an
estore owner, you get the gist. It has become
important to provide your customers with the
best experience and support. But it can be a
challenging task with the huge number of
customers, product competition, and whatnot. It
is also necessary for you to have a Unique
Selling Point that creates value for your
customers. A USP that will help you in delivering
your customers with a
2

• better experience, increase your customer base
  and provide better customer satisfaction.
• Talking about USPs, have you thought of providing
  your customers with the feature of scheduling
  the delivery date and time?
• Yes! You heard it right! You can now give your
  customers the freedom to choose the delivery
  date and time for their orders. And this can
  easily become your unique selling point.
• Lets see how
• Suppose you run an ecommerce business on a
  Magento 2 website. A customer bought something
  from your store and the delivery is after 7 days.
  Your delivery person goes to deliver their order
  but they are not home. And its not as rare as
  you think.
• In this situation, your delivery guy calls them
  to ask when will they return or where can he
  deliver their order. It is unlikely that your
  customer would like the idea of getting their
  order delivered at some other place. They might
  ask the delivery person to come back again to
  deliver the product. This in-turn might delay
  lined-up deliveries, wastage of time and
  increased travel expenses.
• You can overcome this by using a simple Magento
  delivery date extension in your online store
  which can give your customer the freedom to
  decide the delivery date and time. This will be
  beneficial to you as well as your customers.
• Lets explore some must-have features of Magento
  Delivery Date Extension

• This gives your customers the freedom to select a
  convenient date and time from the options
  available. It ensures on-time delivery and keeps

3

• communication clear between all the parties.
  Moreover, as the customer has selected the date,
  they know the arrival of their order and will be
  present to receive it.
• Decide Time Intervals
• This feature gives you the liberty to display the
  available delivery slots, time and dates. This
  ensures that the customer chooses a time that
  both parties are comfortable with. This kind of
  service helps you build a brand and provide
  exceptional customer service.
• Date Scheduler Settings
• This gives you the right as an owner to decide
  the format of date i.e. calendar view or time
  slot view. You can format the date like
  dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy.
• Another neat feature lets you provide your
  customers with the same-day delivery option as
  well by adding customized charges accordingly.
  You can set a limit to the same-day delivery to
  manage the days delivery. Even if the delivery
  number reaches the limit, your customers will be
  able to place an order but their deliveries will
  shift to the next day during your working hours.
• You can also define your working hours and
  national holidays. This helps your customers in
  placing an order accordingly.
• Your customers will not have to suffer more with
  delivery or purchasing issues. You can also
