Our Monthly Ordering Cycle
Our system uses a "monthly cut-off point" to manage orders efficiently. This means that all orders are grouped together within a specific timeframe each month for processing and delivery.
- Place Your Order Anytime: You can place your order at any point during the month.
- The Cut-Off Point: A specific date and time is set as the monthly cut-off.
Orders placed before the cut-off are included in that month's batch. These orders are processed together and scheduled for delivery later in the same month.
Orders placed after the cut-off will automatically roll over into the next month's cycle. They will then be included in the following month's batch and delivered the next month.
The Monthly cut-off point is the 10th of every month at 23:59
