Well, there are quite a few, but here are the most common reasons:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 15px;\">\n<li>Carriers have different collection times, so it might be that there isn&#8217;t enough time to pick and pack your order before that carrier leaves.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes a particular carrier doesn&#8217;t have any more space on their vehicle or capacity in their network.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes a particular carrier can&#8217;t deliver next day to specific post codes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general, we assume that you&#8217;d rather have your order delivered on time by a non-preferred carrier than late with a preferred carrier, so we&#8217;ll always prioritise that.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts \/ ideas \/ suggestions?
