Go to Orders > Rules Engine.
Create a new rule and name it “Via.Delivery - Set Postal Service”.
Then proceed with adding conditions for both FedEx HAL and UPS Access Points.

Note
You need to check your existing rules to see if they will conflict with Via.Delivery rule. A quick way to check if order is assigned for Local Pickup Point delivery is to check if order note contains “via_”.
This way, you can extend your conditional blocks with “order note does not contain via_” to make these rules inactive for such orders.
