What’s my cut -off to confirm an order?

Common Carrier (will ship via FedEx Ground or Freight depending on the actual product being ordered)
Our Truck (will ship on the next available Cycle Truck after the build date)
All Tall Cabinets and Panels must ship on the next available truck after the build date. They are too large to ship common carrier safely.
