🚚 Last Mile Delivery Process

国外派送流程 Last Mile Delivery | 门到门服务 Door to Door

📦 What is Last Mile Delivery? 国外派送是什么?

Last Mile Delivery refers to the final step of the delivery process — getting your cargo from the destination port or distribution center to the final recipient's address. This is where the promise of "door to door" service becomes reality.

国外派送是指货物到达目的港口或分拨中心后,由物流服务商安排专车将货物送到收货人指定地址的最后一个环节。这就是"门到门"服务的最后一环。
