Guaranteed Delivery Window
Also known as: Locked delivery date, Date-certain delivery
Definition
Guaranteed delivery window is a moving contract clause that specifies a precise delivery date or narrow date range (24-48 hours), with carrier penalties if the window is missed.
In practice
What it means on a move.
Guaranteed delivery contracts specify: exact delivery date OR 24-48 hour window, carrier penalty for missing the window ($100-500 per day of delay), customer remedies for significant delays. Common use: corporate-relo executives, military PCS, school-start deadlines. Premium pricing.
Stakes
Why this matters.
Standard delivery spreads can be 3-7 days or longer. For customers with hard deadlines, guaranteed delivery is the only professional standard. Verify the guarantee terms in the contract.
