Mothership will auto-select a small set of accessorials based on the address, including liftgate, residential, and limited access once your shipment completes to reduce rebills and additional charges.

Which accessorials are auto-selected?

  1. Residential Service

    1. Note: Residential service is only available for deliveries. Additionally, a $25 fee applies for shipments with the residential accessorial selected. Learn more about residential service here.

  2. Liftgate Service

  3. Limited Access

How does Mothership determine when an address needs a specific accessorial?

Mothership uses a combination of public data sources to determine whether a location is a residential address or a limited access location and automatically adds the correct accessorials.

Additionally, open and close hours will automatically be added to the pick-up and delivery locations.

How do I know an accessorial has been automatically added to my shipment?

Mothership will denote the accessorials on the shipment review and final checkout pages. If you do not need these accessorials, please deselect them from either your shipment's pick-up or delivery side.
