# Set specific shipping date

 * Hi there,
 * Most products we sell are in stock in our warehouse and will be shipped the same
   day.
 * But sometimes products are on their way from a manufacturer. For those products,
   we know a specific shipping date that we want to communicate with our customers.
   So we’re looking for an option to create a custom field with a date (so not a
   number of days, but a real date) that we can enable/show for these products.
 * We’re currently using a plugin to archieve this ([https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-estimated-shipping-date-per-product/14979300](https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-estimated-shipping-date-per-product/14979300),
   see [this screenshot](http://d.noalert.nl/files/Screenshot%2020-10-2020%20-%2014.28.45.png)
   for an example in Dutch on our website), but this solution is not ideal. This
   plugin only allows to input a number of days (not a fixed date), so we have to
   enter the date as text (so difficult to translate). Also, the plugin saves the
   values in an array, so there’s no specific field for the plugin. So it’s difficult
   to show a list which products have a set shipping date (for example in products
   view).
 * So to summarize: we’re looking for a way to set a specific shipping date for 
   specific products (so a set date, not a number of days) and to store that value
   in a custom field.
 * Do you have any idea how to achieve this?
 * Thanks a lot for your help!
 * Best regards,
    Twan Spierts
