Just a head's up that there are a couple of issues affecting the Ship By dates.
1. Orders are being given a Ship By Date on a Saturday, even with shop settings set to avoid this.
2. Ship By Dates showing on the Orders screen are 1 day later than what shows on the order that you printout. The printed order has the correct date. The Orders screen doesn't show the correct date until the day before the true ship by date, when it says Ship by Tomorrow.
In our busy season, there are times that we aren't able to ship until that last day. I create my build list from the info on the Orders screen. I had started noticing a few instances where I would go to print the shipping label and the order would say 1 day overdue. At first I thought I was making typos. However, I have screenshots now showing that it is changing on Etsy. I've submitted everything to Etsy who has escalated it to an engineering team. I'm just hoping it doesn't affect my Star rating!
This has been going on for almost a year, in my experience.
As a work-around (while Etsy investigates and fixes), I'd set my build-list with Etsy's order date minus 1 day to account for the discrepancy.
"while Etsy investigates and fixes” That’s cute.
