What is Scheduled Delivery?

Scheduled or schedule-ahead delivery is a popular shipping option that allows businesses to extend delivery at an agreed-upon time frame/window that works for all the parties involved. The carrier/delivery provider will deliver on the date and time set by the business based on their internal policies and route optimization planning.

Benefits of Schedule Ahead Delivery Services

Lower Costs

Lower your operating costs by letting us know the delivery dates and times in advance. This will allow us to optimize routes, fill delivery vehicles to capacity, and reduce the runs per delivery vehicle.
