# Delivery method property in the REST FullfillmentOrder resource

As of API version 2021-04, a new field called `delivery_method` is present on the `FulfillmentOrder` object in the REST Admin. This field can contain an `id` and a `method_type`. The `method_type` can be one of the following values: `local`, `none`, `pick_up`, `retail`, or `shipping`.

`delivery_method` represents the type of method that is used to transfer a product or service to a customer. The field was previously released in GraphQL API 2020-10 version.
