Network Service Types

Orchestro supports multiple service types within its Open Parcel Network (OPN). The primary service types include:

Code	Description
GRD	This service is specifically designed for ground delivery, ensuring shipments are facilitated within predefined timeframes (3-7 days). The GRD service uses a network of regional carriers to provide broader, nationwide coverage by routing parcels through multiple carrier networks. It is scalable, cost-effective, and optimizes resource utilization through regional partnerships.
DGRD	This service involves national carriers such as UPS and DHL. Unlike GRD, where parcels are handed off between multiple carriers, DGRD uses a single carrier for the entire shipment journey. It typically offers a longer delivery time (around 6 days) but provides simpler, streamlined logistics without complex multi-carrier coordination.
RETURN	A national carrier (currently UPS MI) return service that allows shippers to set up predefined return logistics for undelivered packages.
ANXT	Next Day Air
ANXTE	Next Day Air Early
ANXTS	Next Day Air Saver
A2DY	UPS 2nd Day Air
A2DYA	UPS 2nd Day Air AM
3DYSL	UPS 3 Day Select
GRND	UPS Ground

These services offer various surcharges, such as fuel surcharges, delivery area surcharges, non-standard package fees, and more, depending on the carrier agreements.
