Pickup Schedule / Cut-off: The daily deadline after which booked shipments roll to tomorrow's manifest.
Why you care: TAT starts at pickup, not at checkout.
In practice: Move your daily manifest before the courier's cut-off → every order ships same-day → TAT claims stay honest.
Every Indian courier, inside your store. An order comes in,
we quote every connected carrier on the order page — you book the best rate, hyperlocal or national.

Why it matters to your store
TAT starts at pickup, not at checkout. A 4 pm booking with a 2 pm cut-off ships tomorrow — your '2-day' promise just became 3.
This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.
