AJ Delivery Date & Shipping
A date-and-time-slot picker that is easy to like because the vendor's support team sets it up for you, but the reviews say little about how it behaves at checkout, and the only 1-2★ reviews (all since Aug 2025) are about support and billing.
Should you install it?
This is a delivery/pickup date and time-slot picker that suits florists, bakers, meal-prep and perishable or made-to-order sellers, and reviewers say the vendor will configure it and customise it for you, often via a video call. The weak points are in the reviews themselves: almost all of them praise support, not how the picker behaves under load, and a few say it needed vendor work to fit their theme or cart drawer. The three 1-2★ reviews all arrived since Aug 2025 and cite non-response, customisation that stuck in the theme, and a paid plan despite the free-plan label; the developer disputes the first and explains the last. Confirm the plan price and what is free before installing, ask support to show customisations are reversible, and check the subscription-product gap if you sell subscriptions.
Fair evidence. 114 text reviews with a lot of detail on support and use cases, but over half come from stores under a month old and read as prompted after support sessions, so storefront reliability, volumes and pricing are thinly evidenced; no carriers or order volumes are named.
Right for
- Florists, bakeries, meal-prep and perishable-goods sellers who need customers to pick a delivery or pickup date and time (8609, 5920, 9172, 4885)
- Made-to-order or seasonal sellers who need a ship-by date or per-product lead times (0045, 0151, 3485)
- Click-and-collect and local-delivery slot booking (3037, 8084)
- Merchants who want the vendor to do theme integration and custom adjustments for them rather than self-install (0997, 4625, 6338, 8178)
Wrong for
- Stores that need a date picker on subscription products; as of June 2023 the developer said this was only on the roadmap and no later review says it shipped (1458)
- Stores expecting a free plan on a live store; the developer says free is for development/partner stores only, others get a 7-day trial then pay (1069)
- Stores that want to install without any vendor involvement or cannot tolerate waiting on support outside the vendor's working hours (2046, 4887, 5317)
- Stores that need more than one delivery fee per order or per-product delivery fees (1458)
- UK or other non-US stores that need fully localised wording; 'zip code' still appears (5549)
What will annoy you
Does not always fit theme, cart drawer or other apps out of the box; vendor has to do the integration: 9 reviews, steady, last seen 2026-02.
How the developer behaves when it breaks
Positive reviews get a near-identical templated thank-you ('Hello Dear, Thanks for this wonderful review!'). Negative reviews get a reply about two-thirds of the time: the 2★ (4887) got a long reply disputing the account and offering a technical review; the 1★ on billing (1069) got a clarification that free is for dev/partner stores; the 3★ on subscriptions (1458) was told it is on the roadmap and fee limits are Shopify's. The 1★ on support (5317) and the 3★ on cut-off times (2665) got no reply. Positive reviews show same-day fixes, but no reviewer in the negative group confirms a fix afterwards.
What goes wrong 6 recurring themes
- Support unresponsive, or customisation done by support that overreached (first appears Sep 2025) 2 reviews rising, last seen 2026-03
“overnight support hardcoded the calendar to our store, forcing all products to use the calendar. Disabling the App did not fix this.” review 4887
- Billing expectation: listing says free plan available, reviewer was forced onto a paid plan (developer says free is dev/partner stores only; 7-day trial otherwise) 1 review steady, last seen 2025-08
“They say a free plan is available, but it is not. It forces you to choose a paid plan.” review 1069
Also 1069 - Does not always fit theme, cart drawer or other apps out of the box; vendor has to do the integration 9 reviews steady, last seen 2026-02
“We had a complex issue with a Vue.js app conflict on our Shopify store, and their team resolved it incredibly quickly and professionally.” review 8178
- Bugs or glitches needing a support fix (date format, packing slips, calendar not working at peak, UI issue); all reported as fixed 7 reviews steady, last seen 2026-02
“I just ran into an issue where our Delivery Calendar did not work properly during our busiest time of the year when of course it was after their work day had ended.” review 9172
- Cut-off time and per-product picker rules misfiring (picker missing on some products, next-day slots offered after cut-off) 2 reviews fading, last seen 2024-11
“Some customers can still choose next day delivery even when it's many hours after the cut-off time” review 2665
- Feature gaps: no date picker on subscription products, one delivery fee per order, US wording ('zip code'), Google Calendar sync still pending in 2022 3 reviews fading, last seen 2025-04
“The mal-functionality of not being able to have date pickers on subscription products is inexcusable.” review 1458
What it does well 5 themes
- Hands-on support for setup and fixes: fast chat replies, often resolved the same day 104 reviews
“And on top the support is really quick, friendly and MOST IMPORTANT effective!” review 6695
- Live help sessions (Google Meet, screen share, WhatsApp) to configure the app 12 reviews
“great service so far, booked a 121 meeting and all issues resolved.” review 4681
- Custom adjustments and bespoke changes done by the vendor 20 reviews
“We needed a few customizations to fit our specific workflow, and they implemented them right away.” review 6338
- Date and time-slot picking for perishable, made-to-order and lead-time-based products 13 reviews
“Very customizable - we have different products with different lead times and are able to adjust delivery options as needed.” review 3485
- Seen as fairly priced compared with similar apps (mostly older reviews) 9 reviews
“compare to other apps that do the same thing, this one is affordable” review 2203
Red flags
- Pricing mismatch: the listing advertises a free plan, but the developer's own reply says free applies only to development and partner stores; live stores get a 7-day trial and then pay. 1069
- Customisation left in the theme: one merchant says support hard-coded the calendar to all products and that disabling the app did not remove it. The developer disputes the account and offers a theme review. Treat vendor-made theme edits as something to ask about and back up before approving. 4887
- Support silence reported twice in the last 14 months (offline, no reply after 5 business days); all earlier reviews report fast replies. 5317 4887
- Support runs on working hours; a peak-season calendar failure was fixed only because staff were reached after hours, and another reviewer notes instant replies only 'within their working hours'. 9172 2046
Trend
Volume is falling: 10 reviews in the last 12 months vs 18 in the 12 months before (about 0.8 a month). Reviews before 2025 are almost all 5★ onboarding-support praise, with only two 3★ complaints (2665 in 2022, 1458 in 2023) and no 1-2★. All three 1-2★ reviews (1069, 5317, 4887) came between Aug 2025 and Mar 2026, about 3 of the ~16 reviews in that span, and all are about support or billing, not features. The rest of the recent reviews (Jan-Apr 2026: 2588, 0078, 8178, 6695, 1118) still praise support. Some dates are edit dates (e.g. 6452, 6561), so timing is approximate.
