An order cut-off time for next-day delivery may be determined, for example, based on travel time between a vendor and an item storage location associated with a hub for item delivery.

On the other hand, if the item arrives at the hub but arrives after the hub's delivery deadline, the item cannot be shipped directly to the customer's location. That is, if an item arrives at the hub after the shipment deadline of the hub, the item can be shipped from the next day, so delivery to the customer cannot be completed on the next day (or the morning of the next day). Accordingly, the delivery deadline of the item according to the embodiments may be calculated by further considering the delivery deadline from the hub corresponding to the corresponding order information at the hub through which the item arrives and passes. For example, if an item's storage location (for example, a vendor's location) is located within a short distance from the hub and travel time is short, but the delivery cut-off time of the hub is earlier than usual on the same day, the delivery cut-off time of the item can be determined early. Conversely, if an item's storage location (for example, a vendor's location) is located far from the hub and travel time is long, but the delivery cut-off time of the hub is later than usual on the same day, the delivery cut-off time of the item is longer than usual. may be decided late.
