What is "Always use default delivery time" feature?

Ingrid Delivery time has two states:

1) Before address is given to Ingrid services
  • Ingrid does not know where the current order will be sent, and the estimation is based on IMP configuration only
2) After address is given (zip code etc.)
  • Ingrid calls Carrier Delivery time services and performs delivery time calculations to achieve the most precise delivery promise for the end consumer based on both carrier API response and IMP configuration

The Feature "Always use default default delivery time" is a way to overrule normal Ingrid Checkout behavior and define that both states: "before" and "after address" should show the same delivery time.

This essentially means hard coding the delivery time and bypassing integrated carrier product delivery time request.

However delivery time calculations in Ingrid always take Warehouse cut offs into consideration.
