Door Delivery Services

What is Door-Delivery Logistics Services?

A door-delivery logistics service is a complete, end-to-end shipping solution where the logistics provider manages the entire process from the sender's location (the "door" of origin) to the recipient's final destination (the "door" of delivery). This removes the need for the sender or recipient to handle individual steps like freight booking, customs clearance, or local transport.

The service is defined by a single point of responsibility, making it a highly convenient option for both B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) shipments. The terms of this responsibility, particularly who pays for costs and who is liable for risks, are governed by Incoterms® (International Commercial Terms).

Door-Delivery Services and Incoterms

Incoterms are a set of rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts. For door-delivery, the most relevant Incoterms are DDP, DAP, and the now-retired DDU.
