Last-Mile Delivery

Last mile, like door-to-door delivery, is the delivery of orders to the final customer. Door-to-door delivery is common for LTL shipments (groupage cargo), as well as for express deliveries and deliveries from online stores. Benefits of door-to-door and last-mile delivery include:

• Comfort and convenience for the recipient: The recipient does not have to independently pick up his cargo from the temporary storage warehouse or send cargo, which saves time.
• Delivery to your door provides high quality customer service and increases customer satisfaction.
• Great flexibility in choosing the place and the time of delivery: The recipient can specify a convenient place and time for receiving their cargo.

However, such deliveries also have some disadvantages:

• High cost: Delivery to the door requires high costs of transportation and labor, which can affect the cost of product or service.
• Possible delays: when delivering to your door delays are possible, since often such delivery might be the last of the entire batch and there is no guarantee that there haven't been any prior delays.

As a rule, door-to-door and last-mile delivery require careful planning of transportation. It is especially important to pay attention to all cargo documents to ensure efficiency and quality of the delivery, taking into account customer needs and any additional specifics.
