    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include computer-implemented systems and methods for dynamic package priority. The system may include at least one processor configured to receive, via a network, a first electronic customer order for a first item, the first order comprising an identifier of the first item and assign a first shipping metric to the first customer order. The system may be configured to transmit an instruction to a mobile device to acquire the first item for the first order, and to receive, via the network, a second electronic customer order for the first item, the second order comprising the identifier of the first item. The system may be configured to assign a second shipping metric to the second customer order. The system may be configured to compare the first shipping metric to the second shipping metric to determine priority for the first customer order and the second customer order. The system may be configured to send an instruction to an order tracking system to reassign the acquired first item to the second order, based on determining that the second shipping metric should have a higher priority than the first shipping metric. The system may be configured to transmit an indication of the reassignment to an output device.
