After you have entered all the order information, you can send the order to us immediately, or you can view an order summary screen before sending the order, by selecting the continue button.
The order summary displays the details of the order, a price breakdown for the order, and can include order messages about date changes, additional charges, and other details that affect the status of the order.
NOTE: If there is an issue with the details of an order (for example, if it is already past the cutoff time for the selected service), then the order summary screen automatically appears displaying warnings about potential date changes and additional charges when you try to submit the order.
How To Enter a New Order:
In the following procedure, it is assumed that complete address information has already been recorded in the company's Address Book.

- If the desired Pick Up or Deliver To address information is automatically entered in the appropriate fields by default, maintain the default address.
