With Nexternal's preferred delivery date feature our Customers can order their packages in advance and tell us the exact date they want their packages to arrive at camp. Last year over 60% of our Customers use the preferred delivery date feature when placing an order. Without Nexternal's preferred delivery date feature a significant percentage of our camp care package orders would not and could not be placed by our Customers. ”
