Below is some helpful information for shoppers to know about delivering from Carter's.
How do Delivery Only orders from Carter's work?
Delivery Only orders from Carter's are time-flexible, which means shoppers can pick up and deliver the order anytime between its "ready for pickup" and "deliver by" times. The "Early OK" label will also display on the order card to help shoppers identify if it is okay to deliver early.
Time-flexible orders will be offered to shoppers who are on the schedule for that day regardless of scheduled delivery windows, and shoppers can decide how best to fit them into their schedule.
For optimal order success, it is recommended for shoppers to plan on picking up a time-flexible Delivery Only order when they will be able to deliver it right after leaving the store to avoid order misplacement or damage.
Since these orders can be delivered at any time, shoppers should send an On the Way message to notify the customer their order will be delivered shortly.
