Setting Exception Dates

"Exceptions" allow you to indicate special events, holidays, or specific dates your business is closed. It allows you to communicate effortlessly to prevent deliveries scheduled on these days.

Benefits

  • Avoid delivery errors: By setting exception dates, you avoid shipments arriving on non-working days or public holidays when your business is unavailable to receive them.
  • Operational efficiency: Communicating in advance about non-available dates ensures the effectiveness of the delivery process, while optimizing your resources.
  • Met expectations: Exception setting ensures a smooth service, maintaining the reliability and accuracy of our delivery schedules.
