Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your Last Mile Delivery questions

What information is needed to arrange a last mile delivery?

The delivery address, receiver contact details, consignment quantity, weight, dimensions and preferred timing are typically required. Site access or specific receiving instructions should also be provided where they could affect the final handover.

Why do last mile deliveries fail even when goods reach the correct area?

Deliveries can fail because of incorrect addresses, unavailable receivers, restricted site access, missed delivery windows or incomplete instructions. Confirming destination requirements before dispatch can reduce avoidable unsuccessful delivery attempts.

Can last mile delivery be arranged for a specific delivery window?

Yes, where the receiving location requires an appointment or defined delivery period, the requested window can be considered when arranging the movement. Availability and practical feasibility will depend on the destination and delivery requirements.

What happens if the receiving site cannot accept the goods on arrival?

The next step depends on the delivery arrangement and circumstances at the site. The consignment may need to be held, redirected or scheduled for another attempt while revised receiving arrangements are confirmed.

Does last mile delivery include proof that the goods were delivered?

Delivery records can confirm the final handover, depending on the service arrangement. Information recorded may include delivery status, receiving details or other evidence required for the particular consignment.
