There are four delivery schedules: 1. **Schedule #1** requires a single shipment between July 1-15, 2025. 2. **Schedule #2** splits the delivery into two shipments, with the second part due August 1-15, 2025. 3. **Schedule #3** divides the order into three equal shipments across July, August, and September 2025. 4. **Schedule #4** involves 13 weekly deliveries from July 1 to September 30, 2025, with strict timing and food temperature requirements.
