Is 2 p.m. on October 28 before the expected completion time?

Find 仕上がり予定日 and read both the date and time. 以降 includes 15:00 and later. It is an expected completion time, not a guarantee.
Q4. 受け取る とき、何を 持って いきますか。
What does this sample ask you to bring when collecting the clothes?
Q4 — Answer and how to find it

Please record the belt too.

When will it be ready?
預り証の 内容を 確認したいです。
I would like to check the details on the slip.
