NS Estimated Delivery Date provides the feature of setting up precise estimated delivery dates for your products. This allows users to configure and display estimated delivery timelines, taking into account factors such as preparation time, shipping duration, and regional holidays. 

In this post, you will learn how to configure the estimated delivery date for your items. Let’s get started!
