What is Door-to-Door Delivery?
Door-to-door delivery in domestic air freight refers to the comprehensive handling of cargo from the sender’s premises to the final recipient, integrating pickup, consolidation, air transport, customs clearance, and final delivery. This end-to-end approach eliminates the need for multiple carriers and reduces handling errors.
