What is Final Mile Delivery?
Final mile delivery is the last step in the supply chain—the movement of goods from a transportation hub or warehouse to their final destination. It’s called “final mile” because it represents the final leg of the journey, whether that’s a retail store, business location, or a customer’s front door. This final leg is often the most complex and critical part of the delivery process. It’s where customer expectations are highest and where the delivery experience directly impacts satisfaction. Canadian Alliance provides final-mile delivery services for both commercial and residential destinations across Canada and into the United States.
