Conversations about Ship-by dates

This topic collects public chats about ship-by dates: the deadlines a seller promises or asks for when an order is expected to leave the shop. The conversations here look at how to organise a batch of orders into a single table, total them up, decide which orders should be shipped first, and then draft messages about the dates involved. The questions they answer tend to be practical ones: how to turn a pile of order emails into one clear table, how to rank orders when not everything can go out at once, and how to phrase a ship-by date to a customer, whether that is confirming when an item will be sent or asking the customer for a date they need it by. The chats are set in a small candle shop, so the examples are drawn from that kind of order flow, but the thinking applies to anyone sorting a stack of orders and working out what to send first and what to tell the buyer about timing.
