Delivery dates are calculated once the ship dates are known, and multiple factors are
taken into account when calculating delivery dates.
The
following factors are taken into account when calculating delivery dates:
- Transit time between the ship from and ship to
locations.
- Pre defined transfer schedules between two locations.
- Days-of-week delivery can be made based on the
service selected. For example, Ground service may make deliveries
only Monday-Friday whereas Saturday delivery makes deliveries on Saturdays
also. Express deliveries
can be made all 7 days of the week.
- Days-of-week delivery can be made based on the
different delivery and transfer schedules of the service. For example,
Ground service may make deliveries on Monday and Friday during its
regular schedule and Monday through Sunday during its holiday schedule.
