Shipping choices dropdown

   Hi,

Can a text box be added to the cart containing information re. the selected shipping method?

For example, if 1st class is selected by the customer, the text below the shipping method could say "This service has an estimated delivery time of 1-3 working days".

The box would have to be big enough to contain a delivery cut off notice in the event that an express service were selected, or be capable of delivering 2 or 3 different messages dependent upon the time of day that an order was placed.

Richard.

	Hi Richard, This is a good idea but after some investigating this cant be implemented at this time but we will consider adding this sometime in the future. Thanks James Edited by Support James - 07 March 2013 at 4:50pm

	No problem, worth an ask. I'll email you the web address of a company whose cart/checkout has just such a feature. I've actually asked them how they did it, but sadly they tell me it was all created in-house and is therefore a secret. (I don't believe them).

	Hi, A mush easier way of conveying this information is to call your shipping method 'UK 1-3 Days' instead of 'Royal Mail First Class' Further to the above - we are actually adding a time limited to shipping methods, so you can have shipping methods between certain hours. Many Thanks Support Edited by Support - 08 March 2013 at 8:51am
