Buyer request to delay shipment after purchase

Hi All,
Unless I'd missed something, there doesn't appear to be a dedicated forum thread to discuss the nuts and bolts of selling/buying on AG, so I'm posting here.

I have a potential buyer who'd like to make a purchase, but would like shipping delayed for a couple weeks while he's on vacation. This doesn't sound like it would be difficult to do, but I've not yet handled a similar request, so I'm wondering what's the best way to do it. Thanks and appreciate the help!

Cool. Wasn't sure if there were any ramifications if I print a label, then hold the shipment back. Thanks for the info!!!

@riley: I'll look into that. My reasoning for printing a label up front, is so that the buyer has something (tracking #) to hold onto after he's paid for the item.

@elizabeth: All my shipments require a signature, so there will be no "left on the porch" scenarios. In fact, the buyer was very specific that he wanted to hold the shipment until he was home for that very reason.

No problem at all. I simply had never been asked before, to delay a shipment, so I was wondering if there were any special steps I'd needed to take. As it were, the unit is sold and will enter the shipping stream on the date he'd requested.

All's good in the hood and thanks to all for your help!
