Introducing Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) for Parcel DE Shipments
We are excited to announce the launch of the Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) feature for Parcel DE shipments, which was successfully deployed on July 1st at 12:15 CET. This new enhancement provides customers with a more precise delivery window, offering greater convenience and improved planning capabilities.
With EDD, you can now see the expected delivery date and time frame for your shipments, enhancing transparency and improving the overall customer experience. This feature is designed to give you better visibility into the delivery process, ensuring you can make arrangements accordingly.
Example Snippet
Below is an example of how the EDD information will be displayed in your shipment data:
{
"shipments": [
{
"id": "00340434657234111097",
"service": "parcel-de",
"origin": {
"address": {
"countryCode": "DE"
}
},
"destination": {
"address": {
"countryCode": "DE"
}
},
"status": {
"timestamp": "2024-07-02T07:21:00",
"statusCode": "transit",
"status": "PO",
"description": "Being delivered.",
"remark": "Being delivered."
},
"estimatedTimeOfDelivery": "2024-07-02",
"estimatedDeliveryTimeFrame": {
"estimatedFrom": "2024-07-02T09:00:00",
"estimatedThrough": "2024-07-02T10:30:00"
}
}
]
}
In this example, the shipment is scheduled to be delivered on July 2, 2024, with an estimated delivery time frame between 09:00 AM and 10:30 AM.
