FINAL MILE SHIPPING

Final mile shipping, often referred to as “last mile delivery,” is the process of moving goods from a transportation hub to the final delivery destination, which is usually a personal residence. This phase of the delivery process is crucial, as it is the most challenging and often the most expensive part of the shipping journey. As e-commerce continues to grow, the importance and demand for efficient and cost-effective final-mile shipping solutions have also increased.
