A required delivery date is the no-later-than date the military provides determined by the weight and mileage of your shipment. If we miss this date, we are required to pay inconvenience claims if you (or an authorized receiving agent) have a residence and are able to accept delivery. Your preferred delivery date is the date you desire to have your household goods delivered. While we try our best to accommodate your requested delivery date, your delivery date will depend on the driver’s schedule and mode of transportation.
