Average Time Taken To Dispatch
The average time to dispatch 1 order is about 3.5 to 4 minutes per order for 1 person doing dispatch on their own.
This is based on a mix of orders from straight forward single pre-kitted packs to orders with add-ons or multiple products needing to be reboxed.
The time of 3.5 to 4 minutes includes time to print labels, packing slips, check Gorgias tickets, loading into cage etc.
So an average dispatch of 10 orders should take approximately 35 minutes.
If dispatching larger bulk orders that are all the same, e.g. a run of Father's Day or Christmas Dozens then the time would be significantly less and probably about 2 minutes per order.
