New Website Feature: Delivery ETAs to Your Location
Posted on Dec 8th 2014
We understand the importance of accurate shipping estimates and on-time delivery are to your business. Whether you need to roll out 100 cases to your team by the end of the week, or need a Bluetooth headset for your boss before they board a plane tomorrow, it’s our priority to help you meet your deadlines. We’ve added a new feature to the checkout page that uses your zip code to calculate the transit time of each shipping method so the best choice is crystal clear. It also removes options that are not cost-effective. For example, it does not display 3-day Air if Ground only takes 2 business days and costs less.
Step One: Once you add an item to your shopping cart, click View All Shipping Options and Rates and enter your zip code.
Step 2: Enter your package's destination zip code and click "Calculate Shipping."
Step 3: View your shipping options and select your desired ship speed.
Based on your location, some UPS ship speeds may be eliminated because cheaper options will arrive to you just as quick. For example, if you are shipping to a location in Southern California, where our warehouse is located, UPS Ground will arrive the next day by the end of the day. No need to pay more for 3 Day Select or 2nd Day Air.
Another great benefit of ordering from CAFL is that all in-stock orders placed by 4:00pm Pacific Monday-Friday will ship the same day. This means that if you’re on the east coast, your orders placed before 7:00pm Eastern will ship that night.
Need it in time for Christmas? Monday, December 22nd is the last day to ship UPS 2nd Day Air packages in time for Christmas (arriving Wednesday, Dec. 24th.). Ship UPS Next Day Air on Tuesday, December 23rd for delivery Christmas Eve.
