The Rate Estimate Web Service Response may show separate from the Rate Estimate Total Charges Amount an Action Guaranteed Day (AGD) Delivery Fee. The AGD fee is not included in the response objects’ Total Charges Amount as the fee is an add-on fee requested at pickup time. Circumstances that prevent an AGD fee from being shown when the Rate Estimate Web Service Request object is received by the web service are:
  • Route involves an interline carrier.
  • Any one of the listed Accessorial Codes requested will prevent an AGD fee from being provided. See List of Accessorial Codes.
Although when the fee is present in a Rate Estimate Web Service Response object, an AGD service will not be provided at pickup time when the actual shipment is during holidays or limited operations days. See Current Schedule
