It usually means BaseBlocks is saying shipping is free on qualifying orders, and the “date promise” refers to an estimated shipping or delivery date they’re committing to for that order. Their shipping policy says they offer free shipping on orders, with same-day dispatch before 12PM, and that pre-orders have a stated ship date such as “shipping August 1.”

What that means in practice

  • Free shipping: You should not be charged a separate shipping fee at checkout for eligible orders.
  • Date promise: They’re giving you a timing commitment, usually either a dispatch date or an expected ship date for a pre-order.
  • Pre-orders: If the item is not in stock yet, the promised date is especially important because it tells you when the item is scheduled to leave their warehouse.

Watch for details

  • The free-shipping offer may apply automatically at checkout.
  • Some regions can have different shipping terms, and policy pages can vary by country or site version.
  • If a promise sounds vague, the safest reading is that it is an estimate, not a guaranteed delivery-by date.

Simple example

If a product page says “Free shipping” and “Ships August 1,” that usually means you pay no shipping fee, and the item is expected to leave on or around August 1 rather than arriving that day.

TL;DR

BaseBlocks’ “free shipping and date promise” generally means no shipping charge plus a stated dispatch or ship date, especially for pre-orders.
