If you were doing a lot with the deliveries file at some point, you could
put the file descriptor into a local variable

  deliveries = open_files['deliveries']
  deliveries.write(flat_line)
  deliveries.write('\n')

You don't need "for fn in open_files.keys():", you can just use "for fn in
open_files:", but simpler than that is to just use the dictionary values:

for fn in open_files.values():
    fn.close()
