How To Cancel A Pickup That You've Scheduled

The scheduling of courier pickups and deliveries is something that makes things easier

for the companies that are shipping all kinds of goods and packages, and easier for the courier companies that move them. If you have a regularly scheduled pickup time with your Santa Monica messenger service, you are likely paying significantly less for that service than you would be if you had to call in and place an order for a delivery the next day. Scheduled deliveries are very carefully orchestrated between the delivery companies and their clients. By making the most efficient routes possible the couriers can make sure that no gas is wasted, and that their drivers spend no needless hours on the road. That is why a cancellation can represent an extremely annoying problem for these companies, as it can completely nullify the careful planning that went into the dispatch route.

There is just no way to ensure that every scheduled pickup is going to be ready at every scheduled pickup time. When you are shipping products to clients or customers, you are totally at their mercy in terms of last minute cancellations or changes to their order. Because of that, even the best laid plans can be disrupted, and you might have to cancel your pickup with your courier company. The most important thing to do in this situation is to contact the courier as soon as you realize that the order needs to be cancelled, this should always be the first step taken immediately after you find out that you don't need the pickup made. Your courier might have several methods in place for you to contact them if this type of situation arises. They will likely have a phone number that you can call to notify them of the cancellation, but if they have an online account holder's order placement portal there may also be a place to cancel scheduled pickups from that interface.

You can gain several benefits by canceling your orders earlier rather than later. You will keep relations with your courier much more amicable if this is the case, as they will appreciate the additional notice that you have given them. Next, you can actually save money by canceling orders sooner, rather than later. Some couriers will add an extra cancellation surcharge if you don't give them more than 24 or 28 hours notice in the event that you need to cancel a previously scheduled pickup.
