Is there a way to mutually extend a deadline?

[terminalxsound]

For example, if you and the buyer both agree to a delivery later than the initially agreed upon time/automatic gig time frame, is there a way to extend the deadline mutually so as not to get bad marks for a “late” delivery? I know you can add days with gig extras, but to do that, you’d have to charge the buyer an additional fee, so that won’t work.

A big dream so far. Don’t know will this ever be implemented…

Apparently not.

From your side, does a late delivery do anything other than extend your “days on average” delivery time? An extended deadline would extend that, too, after all.

From the buyer’s side, there are a number of non-subtle hints from Fiverr that the buyer should cancel, once a gig goes late, but there’s nothing preventing the buyer from giving you five-star feedback on delivery time if you both agreed to the extension.

There’s a statistic for what percentage of orders you’ve delivered on time, though I’m not sure if buyers can actually see that or not. Plus there are a number of warnings in “BIG RED LETTERS” all over anytime you have an order overdue. With the risk of an order cancellation after you’ve put 90% of the work in, it really seems like there should be functionality for this by now.
