Drop-Off Locator
A drop-off location is a building or post box where the shipper can deposit shipments for collection and transportation by the carrier. The Drop-Off Locator option allows the shipper to access the carrier’s drop-off locator web page using the Carrier drop-down list.
Drop-Off Locator Screen
You can add values to the Carrier drop-down list in the Drop-Off Locator screen by creating a system value for each carrier. Each value links to a URL for the particular carrier’s drop-off locator page.
System Values: Drop-Off Locator Screen displays the format of the system value that you use to configure the Carrier field on the Drop-off Locator screen.
Note: This facility depends on carriers providing drop-off location information publicly over the Internet. The solution performs a HTTP GET request with the captured parameters and redirects the user to the carrier page with the results. The websites that carriers use to display drop-off locator information are subject to change; any change requires a review of the system values used.
