[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2693983, member: 7966"] Could be worse ... could leave it to you! UPS first announced these services back in 2015. (Note: I was on the PLD based Notification Team of the 1995 PLD and this service was defined in 1995-1996 but the technology on the Operations side had to catch up. We had the DIAD development involved as well ... I imagine this may bypass the DIAD and DCS. DIAD development is always the longest time-lag in any new service being rolled out. There are a portfolio of services under SD "Synchronized Delivery" (Trademark was applied for in July 2015). Eventually, a shipper or "manager" of shipment can manage several accounts to designate SD. UPS is offering these services as time-saving and UPS may offer shippers up to 10% off for affected packages. These technology solutions will be managed by systems and not local (district) people. Customer Automation technology is already in place to support the change in "Synchronized" Delivery Date supplied via tracking and the API's used by Amazon and other integrated shippers. [/QUOTE]
