You either tell them all to deliver as soon as possible, in which case you get uncertain delivery time. Or you tell them to delay their deliveries until a certain date, thus having stock in retailers' warehouses that could easily be in the hands of users.

Tell me, what miracle of logistics or time-travel have you invented that gives a third option?
