* "24h day postal express" - leaves the choice to the supplier of delivery service provider and product. As long it arrives within 24h after order
 
* "SWISS POST A-Post" - This is a pretty concrete delivery option, defining the vendor and product of the delivery service provider.
Each order has to define on position level the desired delivery option - as well as further [[Order delivery request information overview|delivery request information]].

Pickup may happen at self or supplier operated [[App:Point-Of-Service administration|points of service]] (e.g. [[App:Point-Of-Service - Pickup|pickup station]], shops, measuring-in sites, ... ).  When a delivery option of this type is selected, the ordering party has to select a pickup-station for the list of available pickup stations.
* [[Dev:Delivery option]]


No matter is self operated or operated by the supplier, each pickup station has postal shipment address to which the goods have to be delivered to. This postal delivery address is defined in the pickup station base data.
=== Company Mail ===
Company mail defines that the "last mile" to the final customer is delivered by a company internal logistic organization. When the order defines a CO-Mail delivery option type, the ordering party must define a company-internal address, which typically is just one code.
Each Co-Mail delivery option has to define a handover postal shipment address, where goods are handed over from the supplier to the co-mail carrier.
