Requested ship date
A company has the words This order will ship on 9/14/2010 from our Virginia location on their website. The user could request a ship date in the future.
The internal, recommended replacement is This order is requested to ship on 9/14/2010 from our Virginia location but the readability of the statement is in question.
What is the correct way to combine a requested ship date and a location statement in a single sentence?
Solution 1:
"This order is requested to ship on 9/14/2010 from our Virginia location" but the readability of the statement is in question.
The problem here seems to be that the sentence reads as if the order itself has been requested to do something, when in fact the customer has requested the company to ship the order on date from location.
You could turn it into an active sentence:
The customer has requested shipment on date from location.
Solution 2:
This order is scheduled to ship on 9/14/2010 from our Virginia location, per customer request.
