Can P3 Handle 2-Day or Faster Shipping for Individual Orders?

Can we do 2 day or faster shipping through P3 for an individual order?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

No - that option is only available for online orders from your website.

Below the Ship to and Spanish Packing list there is an option to the change the shipping method. Expensive though.

That just changes WHERE it's shipped to, and then, regular Fed-Ex shipping charges will apply. However, it's NOT an expedited shipping option - it won't get there faster by choosing that option.

Wow, I know something Becky doesn't. Gonna mark this day on my calendar.

Yes, you can do expedited shipping with P3, only for indiv. orders. Below "ship to" and below "spanish packing list" is shipping method. There is a blue link for "change shipping method" which then lets you select 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air. P3 will calculate the appropriate charges. There's even a box for the hideous SmartPost but I don't know how you get to be able to select that one.

Thank you for the info. Becca. I did not know this either!

You're right - I didn't know that! I can't tell you when I last did an indiv. order through P3 - I always direct people to do them online, or tag it on to a show. So - I guess I've never even seen that option!

Thanks. I ended up seeing that it would get to the person before Christmas so she was good to go regular shipping. Good to know the option is there if necessary. I did a lot of individual orders this month. Too bad they came in completely staggered, so I could not make a show out of it! It would have been a great show, too!

Hey, I'm thrilled to know that consultants without websites can enter orders for 2nd day and next day shipping.

I entered a $28 stone and shipping was $27.50 for next day and $22.50 for 2nd day. CRAZY!! Next day shipping for the DCB is $34.75 and the 7 Piece Stainless was $74.45. Those with websites watch and see how many people will pay these fees. It's insane! Last year I had someone order $31 of products and spend $23.25 on shipping. The year before that someone bought the $69 DCB and paid $29.25 shipping.

I wonder if these prices go up the closer we get to the 23rd?
