Delivery Appointment: Definition and Examples

What is Delivery Appointment?

A delivery appointment is a fixed time slot agreed with the receiving location. Warehouses, offices, construction sites and secure facilities may require an appointment before a driver can arrive.

Why it matters

An appointment protects the delivery plan by making sure the consignee, receiving team and site access are available at the same time.

What to provide when requesting a quote

Date, local time and time zone
Consignee name and phone number
Dock, gate or security instructions
Any requirement to call ahead
