When it comes to shipping and delivery, two of the most common options are last mile delivery and white glove delivery. Here's the difference, and how to choose.
What is last mile delivery?
Last mile delivery is the final step of the shipping process, when a package is delivered to its final destination — a home, office, or retail location. It's typically handled by a third-party logistics provider who picks up from your warehouse or distribution center and delivers to your customers.
What is white glove delivery?
White glove delivery is a premium service with a higher level of customer care. A trained professional handles the details — unpacking, assembling, and placing items in the room of choice. It's used for high-value, fragile, oversized, or difficult-to-deliver items.
Which one is right for you?
If you ship large or delicate items, or need someone to handle final installation and setup, white glove is the better fit. For most other shipments, last mile delivery is a strong and more affordable option — ideal when the goal is simply getting large items to the customer's door.
