Unlocking Deliveries in Schedule 1

Deliveries represent a game-changing feature in Schedule 1, allowing players to receive essential supplies directly at their properties instead of making repeated trips to suppliers. This mechanic saves time and reduces exposure to risks associated with travel. To access it, players must own a property equipped with a loading dock, deposit sufficient funds, and use the in-game delivery app. While delivery fees apply, the convenience often outweighs the cost for established operations.

Why Deliveries Matter in Your Schedule 1 Empire

In Schedule 1, managing resources efficiently is key to scaling your underground business. Manual supply runs expose you to police patrols and consume valuable in-game hours. Deliveries automate restocking, enabling focus on production, mixing, and sales. Properties with loading docks unlock this system, turning static bases into dynamic hubs. Early adoption accelerates progression, especially when handling bulk orders of seeds, jars, or chemicals.

Players report that deliveries cut supply acquisition time by up to 70%, based on community guides and gameplay footage. This efficiency is crucial during peak operation hours or when expanding to multiple sites.

Acquiring Your First Loading Dock Property

The cornerstone of deliveries is owning a property with a built-in loading dock. Starter homes lack this feature, so investment is required.

• Save $6,000: Grind sales or complete deals to accumulate funds. Deposit via ATM at locations like Gas Mart to credit your online balance.
• Visit Ray’s Realty: Located southeast of Hyland Police Station, this agency lists available properties.
• Buy the Bungalow: Priced at $6,000, it’s the entry-level option with a loading bay in the driveway, northwest on the map.

Once purchased, the bungalow’s dock auto-enables delivery options. Higher-tier properties offer multiple docks for simultaneous orders, ideal for advanced players.

This table outlines basic options; explore Ray’s for current listings.

Navigating the Delivery App Interface

Access the app via your mobile phone or tablet from any property. It lists vendors like Dan’s Store, Shirley, Albert, and Salvador.

1. Select a supplier based on needs (e.g., seeds from one, pseudo from another).
2. Choose quantities; bulk orders increase fees but maximize value.
3. Set destination to your property’s dock (auto-selects if single).
4. Review total, including flat fees around $200, then place order.

Orders arrive in 3-4 hours, announced by a van at the dock. Unload manually from the trunk and stock shelves. The van departs once empty.

Building Supplier Loyalty for Advanced Deliveries

Beyond basic orders, max loyalty unlocks premium features like dead drop avoidance. Repeated purchases, especially daily dead drops, fill loyalty meters.

• Target max loyalty with Shirley (pseudo), Albert, Salvador.
• Daily orders push meters to full, enabling direct property deliveries.
• Loyalty persists across sessions, rewarding consistent play.

Community tests show max loyalty after 5-10 days of routine orders, transforming suppliers into reliable partners.

Managing Delivery Fees and Economics

Fees start at $200 but scale with order size. Mitigate by:

• Combining multi-supplier orders into one trip.
• Ordering only essentials to avoid waste.
• Using profits from sales to offset costs.

For example, a 20-jar order from Dan’s incurs minimal extra fee, yielding high ROI when processed efficiently.

Optimizing Multiple Properties and Docks

Advanced players invest in sites like laundromats or post offices with extra docks. Assign specific suppliers per dock for parallel deliveries.

• Dock 1: Seeds and growing supplies.
• Dock 2: Chemicals and jars.

This setup supports 24/7 operations, even out-of-hours via app.

Troubleshooting Common Delivery Issues

Van not appearing? Check funds, dock selection, and wait time. Empty trunk fully to despawn vehicle. No dock? Verify property ownership.

• Funds Short: ATM deposit required.
• Wrong Destination: Re-select property.
• Low Loyalty: Grind dead drops.

Integrating Deliveries with Business Expansion

Pair deliveries with hires like Botanists for auto-growing or Chemists for mixing. Stockpiled supplies fuel employee tasks, scaling output.

Strategic use includes off-hours ordering for morning readiness, syncing with dealer networks for max profit.
