How moving deliveries works

From time to time you may need to move deliveries from one delivery area to another. This feature can be handy for one-off deliveries that get incorrectly recorded, or you can build it into your delivery workflow. Here’s an example.

Some companies record all incoming deliveries at the front desk and store them there until the end of the day. Then, they’re moved to a mailroom or package room. With this feature, you can update the delivery area for all packages when you physically move them. When you move deliveries, recipients get an automatic notification about the new pick-up location.

Note: Any administrator can move deliveries to any delivery area. If Location Admin or Front Desk Admins move deliveries to a location where they do not have permissions, they will lose access to that delivery.

Benefits of moving deliveries

  • More flexibility to manage deliveries.

  • Recipients always know where to pick up their packages.

  • Easy of use—you can move multiple deliveries in just a few clicks.

How to move deliveries to another delivery area

Note: You have to be an admin at both locations in order to move a package. If you don't see the option it is likely you don't have the proper permissions at the secondary location.
