To get back the Express tag you must adhere to the
following:

97%
· Your overall cancellations should be less
than 2%
Note:
The handover adherence is calculated on a daily basis. So if you are handing
over all the orders for the specific day it will considered as adhered to.Let's understand this through some
scenarios:
For AE
& EG: The pickup cutoff time for UAE and EGY is 4 pm.
1. The
shipments are created and handed over before 4 pm. This will not lead to drop
in adherence.
2. The shipments are
created before 4 pm and pickup is done after 4 pm but on the same day. This
will not lead to drop in adherence.
3. The shipments are
created after 4 pm and the pickup was not done the same day. This will lead to
drop in adherence as this is a seller's fault.
4. The shipments are
created before 4 pm but not picked up the same day. This will lead to drop in
adherence unless a sufficient reason is provided by the logistics for
non-adherence.
5. In
adherence calculation, we only consider the orders that were ordered and
confirmed before the cut off timeframe.
For SA : The pickup cutoff
time for KSA is 2 PM
1. The
shipments are created and handed over before 2 pm. This will not lead to drop
in adherence.
2. The shipments are
created before 2 pm and pickup is done after 2 pm but on the same day. This
will not lead to drop in adherence.
3. The shipments are
created after 2 pm and the pickup was not done the same day. This will lead to
drop in adherence as this is a seller's fault.
4. The shipments are
created before 2 pm but not picked up the same day. This will lead to drop in
adherence unless a sufficient reason is provided by the logistics for
non-adherence.
5. In
adherence calculation, we only consider the orders that were ordered and
confirmed before the cut off timeframe.

I process the orders I received on my new warehouse when the DS Express tag has
