Saturday Delivery for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamic Ship‘s Saturday Delivery option lets your shipping team request weekend delivery on a shipment without leaving the Package Worksheet in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It works as a package option that filters your available carrier services down to only those that support Saturday delivery, so shippers see the right choices instead of guessing which service to pick. Shipping clerks, customer service reps, and warehouse managers use it whenever a customer needs a shipment to land before Monday.

- See only the carrier services that actually support Saturday delivery, so there is no guesswork.

Key Capabilities
Package-level option, not a separate service. Saturday Delivery is set as a package option in the Package Worksheet. It does not appear as its own line item in the carrier’s service list; instead, it filters that list.
Automatic service filtering. Once Saturday Delivery is selected, Dynamic Ship only returns carrier services that offer Saturday delivery for that shipment, so your team never books a service that cannot honor the request.
Off by default, on when you need it. Saturday Delivery is disabled unless a shipper turns it on for a specific package, which keeps standard shipments moving at standard rates.
Customer-level defaults. Using Dynamic Ship Package Options Templates and Customer Options, you can set Saturday Delivery to apply automatically for any customer who should always receive it, without a shipper remembering to select it order by order.
Works across your carrier network. Because the option filters live rate results, it applies across whichever carriers in your Dynamic Ship setup offer the service, not a single hardcoded carrier.
How Saturday Delivery Works in Dynamic Ship
- In the Package Worksheet, the shipper opens Package Options for the shipment.
- The shipper enables the Saturday Delivery option for that package.
- Dynamic Ship requests rates and only returns carrier services that support Saturday delivery.
- The shipper selects a service and prints the label, all inside Business Central.
- For repeat customers, a shipping manager can skip steps one and two entirely by assigning a Package Options Template with Saturday Delivery enabled to that customer in Dynamic Ship Customer Options, so every qualifying order picks it up automatically.
Why Dynamic Ship Saturday Delivery Stands Out
Saturday Delivery is one small piece of a much larger pattern in Dynamic Ship: package options, service endorsements, alternate billing, and delivery preferences are all configured inside Business Central and can be defaulted by customer, price group, or shipment type. You are not hunting through a separate carrier account to turn weekend delivery on and off.
That matters because Dynamic Ship’s carrier reach goes well beyond a handful of national parcel carriers. With over 400 parcel, LTL, and FTL carriers available through Dynamic Ship’s freight integration platforms, the Saturday Delivery filter works across a much wider set of live services than a shipping tool tied to a short list of carriers, so your team is more likely to find a qualifying option instead of hitting a dead end.
Who Uses Saturday Delivery
Shipping clerks use it when a customer calls in to request weekend delivery for an order already on the dock. Customer service reps use it while on the phone with a customer to confirm in real time whether a Saturday-qualifying service is available before making a promise. Shipping managers use the Customer Options setup to automatically enable Saturday Delivery for accounts that require it on every order, such as customers with standing weekend delivery agreements.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Saturday Delivery is a package option you turn on for a shipment, not a standalone service you select from a carrier’s list. When enabled, Dynamic Ship filters the available carrier services down to only those that include Saturday delivery, so the shipper picks from a pre-qualified list rather than checking each service manually.
No. Saturday Delivery is disabled by default. A shipper enables it in Package Options for an individual package, or a shipping manager sets it to apply automatically for a specific customer using a Package Options Template in Dynamic Ship Customer Options.
Yes. If a customer should always receive Saturday delivery, you can configure that preference once using a Package Options Template assigned through Dynamic Ship Customer Options. Every qualifying shipment for that customer then applies the option automatically, without the shipper selecting it order by order.
Saturday Delivery filters live rate results to the services that actually support weekend delivery among the carriers configured in your Dynamic Ship setup. Coverage depends on which carriers and services offer Saturday delivery in a given region, so availability varies by carrier and destination.
Open the Package Worksheet for the order, go to Package Options, and enable Saturday Delivery for the package. Dynamic Ship then returns only the carrier services that support Saturday delivery for that shipment’s origin, destination, and carrier setup.
