Last Mile Delivery in the United States refers to the final delivery process of goods from local logistics centers or warehouses to customers after long-distance transportation. This link is the closest part of the logistics chain to the end consumer, involving delivering packages from the delivery point to the final destination, such as the customer's home address, company, or designated receiving point. Terminal delivery is a costly and complex part of the logistics process, as it involves a large number of individual delivery points and requires high flexibility and precise logistics management to ensure timeliness and customer satisfaction.
In the United States, end of pipe delivery may be carried out by various service providers, including national courier companies such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS, as well as regional courier companies, local courier services, contracted courier drivers, or emerging unmanned delivery technologies such as drones and autonomous vehicles. Each service has its own specific service level, price, and delivery options to meet the needs and budgets of different customers.
