ShipDate Property

The date the user requests UPS to pickup the package from the origin.

Syntax

 upsship.getShipDate([callback])
 upsship.setShipDate( shipDate, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getShipDate([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setShipDate([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This is required to be provided in a ship request only if UPS On-Call Pickup service is requested (i.e., when the corresponding flag for On-Call Pickup (0x01000000) is present in ShipmentSpecialServices). This date should not be a past date or a date more than 10 days in the future. If not provided, then it defaults to the current date.

This should be entered in this format: YYYYMMDD.

Note: It is not valid if this pickup date is the same day for shipment(s) going from Germany to Germany using UPS Standard service. Error 129090 will be returned in this case.
