Last-Mile Delivery
Last-Mile delivery is really about the final journey of a supply chain. It refers to the process of transportation of packages from a warehouse shelf to the customer’s doorstep - with the goal of items being delivered to its end-user in the quickest way possible, as well as minimizing cost per stop.

Hyperlocal Delivery
Hyperlocal delivery is an activity where the customers received goods in a very short time from the offline stores available within the proximity of a few kilometers away. For example, if a small restaurant doesn’t offer a home delivery service, a hyperlocal business can step in and do the job.

Key difference

- In last-mile delivery, the delivery area is not restricted while the delivery area of hyperlocal delivery is usually much smaller
- Last-mile delivery can include almost anything, especially huge stuff like a fridge, wardrobe, clothes, etc. The items that usually delivered through hyperlocal are essential items like groceries, medicines, and food.
- For last-mile delivery, the delivery charge based on the volumetric weight whereas hyperlocal delivery usually has a cap of 10-12 kg while delivering.

With a global economy that is growing every day, the export and import of goods are becoming an essential part of today's businesses.
If your business is new to international shipping, it requires many challenging processes. Having a Freight Forwarder can make those processes a lot easier. Lets take a look at the below factors before relying on any Forwarders.

Using one freight forwarder:
- Accountability (easy to pinpoint who’s responsible for what)
- Coordinating between a shipper and a single forwarder is easier, faster, and less expensive
- Decrease billing mistakes, far easier to find and fix

Using two or more forwarders:
- Meeting the shipper's diverse needs
- The shipper has back-up if one is unable to complete the task
- Creating competition among forwarders

To pick the right forwarder, shippers should know exactly what they need. Sometimes it’s much easier and more effective to have one, who is an expert in what you need.
