Challenges with Traditional Carriers

Online shoppers demand an Amazon-like delivery experience including fast deliveries for low or no cost. But, if you’re using a traditional carrier like DHL, UPS, or FedEx, fast deliveries can cost up to 2-3 times the rate for ground shipping. And that’s before surcharges are added for fuel, residential deliveries, and peak season. Traditional carriers often have little or no ability to provide your customers with:

  • Efficient, fast deliveries, at affordable prices
  • Real-time tracking and communications during a delivery
  • Sustainable deliveries without giving up speed or convenience

Many modern last-mile delivery carriers have new technologies that give you the ability to provide your customers fast deliveries at affordable prices, sometimes at close to ground rates. Furthermore, that same technology that supports fast deliveries, often scales quickly and easily. Plus, some modern delivery providers, including AxleHire, have built their platforms to provide the most visible warehouse-to-doorstep experience for not only the customer but the brands.

Quick Guide: Choosing a Last-Mile Logistics Provider

To meet your savvy customers' high expectations for deliveries, your company must ensure it can provide them with what they demand from their package delivery experience, even during peak season, including:
