When something says "Must be recieved by Feb 15th"

[imported_Ziggy]

Does that mean the 15th is the last day you can get it there, or 11:59pm the 14th is the latest?



Edit: Can you guys see a poll?

[imported_Ziggy]

Yeah, I think it's sort of ambiguous (ooh big word there)

College app? or bills?

My local back alley drug dealer said to have the money by the 15th, and I don't want to get a cap in my ass. 🙂

 

[imported_Ziggy]

Any body else?

 

[kyparrish]

seems to me as long as they received it on the 15th, you'd be okay........................

this thread lacks POLE!

Then you should give it to him on the 13th 😉

If it says they need it by the 15th, I'd assume they mean by the 15th, not on the 15th. Meaning Feb 14th 11:59:59 = deadline.

It usually means the end of the business day of the 15th.

Bingo. By end of business day on the 15th.

Sometimes if it's a credit card payment there is a cutoff time like 1PM local time.

On the 16th you will be dead.

Is this the OSU research thing?

Anyway, they need to have it in their hands before they leave at 5pm on the 15th.

I think it's "end of business day on the 15th" like others have said.
If it's a CC payment. You could call them and they'd except 15 as the postmark. It's not true for the MIR.

EDIT: I don't see any poll.
