subject: Can I Still Stop A Shipment If It Is Already On Its Way To Me? [print this page] With the advances in technology, the way we do business now is instantaneous. We can get a hold of business partners and employees wherever they are at, making business transactions faster and easier. These advances extend into the delivery services also. With radios, cell phones, texting, tracking software, email and instant messaging; deliveries get from one place to another quickly and with fewer problems. But, even with all of this technology, if you need to stop a shipment that is already in transit by a Miami delivery service, issues may arise for both you as a client and the delivery service itself.
If you ever need to stop a delivery mid-transit, how the situation will be handled will depend on the delivery service that you are using. The first issue that needs to be considered is exactly what type of shipment you are trying to stop. If it is just a small package that is just one of many that are out being delivered, the company may be able to stop your package from being delivered by putting a hold on it and return it to you when they can. This may be a benefit for you, but for any Miami delivery service this is an inconvenience and they will charge you accordingly. These fees can depend on whether they can hold your package from delivery without difficulty and the cost for them to get the package back to you.
If you have hired out an entire truck for your delivery and you have to request that the truck returns after it has left your facility with its delivery, there is usually no issue, especially of you have hired out the truck for a specific length of time. However, you may have to pay extra in mileage fees if the truck was able to cover a good distance before you called it back. This extra charge also depends if the delivery company charges on a per mile basis.
Be sure that you are dealing with a delivery service that is flexible to changes, especially if you have the type of business that last minute changes and requested delivery recalls happen without warning. You want to make sure that business runs smoothly and you will need to disclose this to the delivery service that you use so that they are aware of the possible situation and that there are no surprises for either of you.
