Right now, you are probably wondering about how to get that shipment down from your shipping country or location to your doorstep in Nigeria. Just maybe you are in search of a good knowledge of Logistics Business, particularly how Door-to-Door Cargo delivery service works.  

Courier Delivery Service

First, this post is not about Door-to-Door Courier Services. It is strictly about Door-to-Door Cargo Delivery Services.

Now the word ‘to my doorstep’ or ‘Door-to-door service’ creeps in and you are beginning to look out for a service company that can deliver those shipments to your doorpost or warehouse, whichever one fits. 

In the Freight forwarding industry, there are lots of terms that require digging deep to understand the concepts of shipping. 

The idea of door-to-door cargo delivery service is just one of those terms.

Have you ever heard about door-to-door delivery services? Do you want to understand its in-depth meaning and the various processes? Or you are probably searching for a reliable logistics company that can shoulder your cargo delivery service?

Search no more! This is why we have this post now.

What is ‘Door to Door Cargo Delivery Service’?

From the word ‘Door-to-Door’, it simply denotes the physical movement of goods from the point of pickup to end-user. As defined by UPS, the meaning also transcends to the name of the service provided, for example, “door-to-door service” or “door-to-door cargo delivery service”.

Unfortunately, the definition of this term can be very confusing. The confusion takes a stance from the word ‘door-to-door’ itself. It is simple to conclude that Door-to-Door Service is a service rendered to ‘your doorpost’. And at the same time difficult when we say Door-to-Door service is referred to as ‘from shipping location to ‘your warehouse'”

While some believe that “Door-to-Door services” most usually stopped at the warehouse and not necessarily at the customers’ doorpost or home, most others see it from a different perspective. 

But we understand that position of GlobalForwarding…, and maybe others, on what Door-to-Door may imply.

Definition of Term from Two Different Views

According to GlobalForwarding, “…one of the biggest problems is that companies do not always see that door delivery means to the door of the warehouse of course. They think that door can mean to their customer’s door which can be true only on a drop-ship or direct ship, but they do not understand it to be the door.”

GlobalForwarding believes that Door to Door delivery means that the freight forwarding company will pick up the shipping container from your warehouse and bring it to the port, gate it in and file the necessary paperwork and retrieve it on the other side to be brought to your consignee’s warehouse.”

On the other hand, UPS defines door to door service as “The physical movement of goods from the point of pickup to end-user. This may also be the name of a service provided, for example, “door to door service.”

This is apparently where we draw our definition having taken into consideration several factors. The current trend seems to have shifted to a meaning carved from the words itself. But this time, we deal with Cargo delivery to your doorpost, or warehouse as the case may be.
