# Shipping Overview

This tab is used for setting general shipping. In this tab, you can turn on/off shipping as a fulfillment method by simply enabling or disabling the feature. Shipping you'll still get to set up preparation day and delivery date range.

Although at the shipping option, there is also a date picker available for customers to choose their preferred date and time, it is important to note that it does not correspond to the local delivery options where a delivery location validator is required.

Unlike local delivery, shipping does not have limitations on the areas you can deliver to. This means that the delivery estimate, including preparation days and delivery date range, may differ from what you have set up for the local delivery option. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully calculate the preparation days and delivery date ranges for shipping to ensure they meet your customers' expectations.
