Delivery estimate copy sets arrival expectations. Shipping cutoff copy sets the deadline for same-day or next-day processing. This page gives a clear, self-serve way to decide what belongs in each type of copy for visitors scanning for quick pre-purchase answers.
| Delivery estimate | Shipping cutoff |
|---|---|
| Use delivery estimates to explain likely arrival windows after processing and shipping. | Use shipping cutoffs to explain order timing rules before fulfillment starts. |
| Use on this FAQ page when: the shopper needs clear expectations before taking the next step. | |
Plain version: Start with the shopper's question, name the relevant rule, then give the next step without adding a broader promise.
Safer wording: "Here is what this means for your order. If your case falls outside this summary, check the full policy or contact support before purchasing."
