How far in advance are distribution shifts usually scheduled?

Distribution shifts can be scheduled at different lead times depending on the campaign, location, and level of urgency involved. Some flyer assignments may be planned well in advance, while others may be created closer to the time they need to be completed.

Campaigns that are tied to large promotions, events, or broader planning needs may be scheduled earlier so staffing and route preparation can be organized ahead of time. Other campaigns, especially time-sensitive or urgent assignments, may appear with shorter notice depending on operational needs and campaign deadlines.

Because lead time can vary, workers should stay aware of how assignments are typically offered through the platform workflow and keep their availability updated as accurately as possible. This can make it easier to respond to both early-scheduled jobs and more immediate opportunities when they appear.

Overall, there is no single fixed lead time for all distribution shifts. Scheduling advance notice depends on the specific campaign and how quickly the job needs to be staffed and completed.
