What Is Last-Mile Delivery?

Last-mile delivery refers to the final step in the shipping process, where a package is delivered from a distribution hub to the customer’s address. It is often the most expensive & time-consuming part of logistics.

Challenges of Last-Mile Delivery:

1. High Costs – Fuel, labor, and residential delivery fees drive up pricing.
2. Delivery Delays – Traffic, weather, and incorrect addresses can slow shipments.
3. Customer Expectations – Consumers now expect same-day or next-day delivery.
