Question about "Orders in queue"

[sreehari_a]

How does this work?

Lets say my gig has 3 orders in queue and the delivery time is 2 days. Does this mean I will have to deliver all the 3 orders within 2 days?

or can I complete the first order within 2 days and then start the second order in queue and so on? (2 days for each order)

It follows the moment the order was placed so if the 3 orders in queue were placed at the same time (lets say Jan 1 - 1:00 PM) all three of them need to be delivered by Jan 3 - 1:00 PM if the delivery time is 2 days. Delivery time countdown starts exactly the moment the order is placed regardless of how many orders were made ahead of it.

Ah. Thanks!

So these people with lots of orders in queue might be working as a team right?

Yes that is a common thing or they work very fast haha!

It's also possible that the delivery durations are long (custom offers can modify the duration of delivery beyond the one advertised on gig page) and still gets counted in the queue.

This is one of my popular gigs.

14 orders in the queue. I work alone. Good planning can do wonders.
