final mile

The "final mile" refers to the last stage of a delivery process, where goods move from a transportation hub or distribution center directly to the customer's location. It is often the most complex and costly part of shipping because it involves navigating local streets and addressing individual delivery needs. Efficient final mile delivery is crucial for customer satisfaction and timely service, especially with the rise of e-commerce, making it a key focus for logistics companies aiming to optimize delivery speed and reduce costs.
