@kevlin or the “order before end of the day” timeframe is shown as before 23:59 or even worse before 23:55 when we all (should) know the day ends at 24:00 (insert 12 hour versions for those who believe in that)

@bix Gotta love the 12-hour clock. Most people who use it have no proper idea how it works, and will get 12:00 AM/PM wrong (as well as getting confused about the status of 12:01). Did some work for a logistics company a number of years ago. One of their promo posters got this wrong (or sent mixed messages, depending on your perspective) with something along the lines of "Before midday next delivery: guaranteed before 12:00 AM", which is one statement offering two very different promises 🙃
