Some carriers offer the option to deliver packages to customers on Saturdays. To get shipping rates for Saturday deliveries, create a Shipment and set saturday_delivery: true in Shipments Extras.
infoBy setting saturday_delivery: true, only saturday delivery options are returned. This means shipment options for other days are not returned.If you need shipment options for week days and Saturdays, create two Shipments. One with saturday_delivery:true in extra and one without.
The following example shows a request for a Saturday delivery Shipment. Request:
