By specifying a order delivery option the requesting party can define the abstract form of delivery.

Example:

  • The customer selects "express delivery"
  • The delivering party may now select the shipment path matching the customers request for "express delivery", e.g. like "SWISS A-POST"

Each order has to define on position level the desired delivery option - as well as further delivery request information.

Order delivery option types

Generally there exist these delivery option types.

Postal

Postal shipment is the default in eCommerce. If a delivery option of this type is selected, the ordering party has to provide a post shipment address (e.g. in ZUGSEIL Shop) to which it requests the delivery.

Pickup

Pickup may happen at self or supplier operated points of service (e.g. 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.

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.
