Common questions

Which carriers support delivery appointment?

17 carriers publish a code for delivery appointment, and a further 1 support it through a request field rather than a code. Delivery time must be arranged with the consignee in advance.

Is there a standard delivery appointment code across carriers?

No. Each carrier defines its own code, so the same service is spelled differently at every carrier you integrate with — AAA Cooper uses NCM, AIT Worldwide Logistics uses APPT, Banyan Technology uses CAPPT, CEVA Logistics uses Appointment. A code is only meaningful together with the carrier it belongs to.

Need this programmatically? /api/accessorials/map?service=appointment-delivery returns the same data as JSON on every plan.
