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 the how Door-to-Door Cargo delivery service works.
But 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 for a service company that can deliver those shipments to your doorpost or warehouse, which every fits.
In the Freight forwarding industry, there are lots of terms that require being dug deep to understand the concepts of shipping.
The idea of door-to-door cargo delivery service is just one of such terms.
So, the question is ‘have you ever heard about door-to-door delivery services’? Do you want to understand its in-depth meaning and 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 today.
What Is Door To Door Cargo Delivery Service?
From the word ‘Door-to-Door’, it simply means the physical movement of goods from the point of pickup to end-user. 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’.
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 the current trend, that 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.
What You Should Know About “Door-To-Door Freight Service”
Another word for door-to-door cargo service is Door-to-door freight service as it is more commonly called.
It is aimed at those who ship larger shipments heavier than 40kg or exceeding the dimensions for standard door-to-door delivery service. Very often such shipments are placed on pallets, but you can also ship bulky and/or oddly shaped items, cars, furniture, and many other objects as well.

In context, the ‘end-user’ as mentioned by UPS may be used as a relative term, which opens the way for us to conclude that rendering services go beyond the ‘consignee’s warehouse’. It mostly extends to customers who seek consolidation or Groupage of their shipment. This is especially so when they wish to have their items delivered to their doorpost.
