# When will my shipment be processed and shipped from the warehouse?

## When will a shipment be processed and shipped from the warehouse.

**Shipping Plan Processing and Cutoff Times**

Once you create a shipping plan in your SKUdrop account, your shipment is typically **processed and labeled within 24–48 hours**, ready to be **loaded into a container**.

Please note the following **cutoff schedule**:

* The **cutoff time is midday every Thursday (China Local Time)**.
* This allows us enough time to process your shipment, load it into a container, and transport it to the port for departure the following week.

**Example Timeline:**

* If you create a shipping plan on **Monday**, the shipment will be processed and labeled within 24–48 hours. It will then be loaded into a container scheduled to depart on a **ship the following Tuesday or Wednesday**.
* If you create a plan on **Tuesday, Wednesday, or before midday Thursday**, it follows the same timeline as above.
* If your shipping plan is created **after midday Thursday**, it will likely miss the following week’s ship —meaning your shipment will depart approximately **12-14 days after the plan is created**.

If you have a tight deadline, we recommend submitting your shipping plan as early in the week as possible.
