Placing the Order Before the Story Window Closes
Post the Story first, confirm it is public, then submit the share link — never the other way round, since checkout has nothing to attach an order to until the Story exists. Delivery then runs progressively with no fixed finish time, so a Story that expires, goes private or comes down mid-run leaves whatever is still queued with nowhere left to land.
Submit early rather than close to the 24-hour mark, and weigh the runway left against a six-zone spread stretching Pacific to Newfoundland. Clocks spring ahead on March's second Sunday and fall back on November's first, a shift most of Saskatchewan sits out, so its audience's local time will not match everyone else's.
