How can I change the product availability message based upon the day that the customer is viewing (or ordering) the product?
Day of order : Will ship in X # of days
Sunday : 2
Monday : 1
Tuesday (before 10am) : 0
Tuesday (after 10am) : 2
Wednesday : 1
Thursday (before 10am) : 0
Thursday (after 10am) : 5
Friday : 4
Saturday : 3
Why not create a new module with a helper that uses http://php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php
You have your logic listed above maybe write a switch statement that outputs your delivery message and the number of days is determined from the output if the switch statement.
Then its just a case of calling this helper function in your themes availability template file to output your delivery message.
