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!

Not sure what is so hard about this?

if the item has been paid for, then have the buyer contact you when he returns from his vacation and then ship the item,

seems pretty easy

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

don’t think you want to print the label now.....that you would have to wait til your ready to ship.

or you can go to the site and setup the shipping date and then the label will be good for that day.

@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.
