Last Mile Threshold Delivery

Threshold delivery is a type of final mile delivery where packages are placed in the first dry area of a home or business, such as the lobby of a commercial building, a garage, or foyer of a residence.

Through our last-mile tracking technology platform, Synoptic, our team of delivery experts digitally obtains signatures, sending proof of delivery details directly to your personalized Synoptic dashboard for easy one-step tracking.

First, these services are both forms of final mile—or last mile—delivery. So, what is threshold delivery? This is final mile delivery where our expert team will place packages in the first available dry area to protect the goods in efficient ways. This includes threshold home delivery (which can include delivering packages to the residents’ foyers) as well as commercial applications, which could include delivery to a business lobby or garage. 

White glove delivery, meanwhile, is something different. It involves the final mile delivery of oversized goods, ranging from furniture to appliances and mattresses to electronics, exercise equipment, and more. This service can also include the assembly and installation of these oversized goods along with deluxing the delivered goods, furniture repair, removal of goods, and reverse logistics.

NXTPoint Logistics offers both threshold services for businesses and threshold home delivery. This last mile delivery service puts packages in a dry, secure area on the premises to protect them against damage, theft, and weather-related events.

To smoothly schedule appointments, we use Synoptic, which is a proprietary software for last mile deliveries. This software also allows customers to know when deliveries should arrive, which improves customer satisfaction with the delivery experience. We obtain customer signatures digitally with each delivery, which allows you to track them—scheduled, in transit, and completed deliveries—in real time and gain transparent insights into the final mile delivery. You’ll benefit from seamless one-step tracking as we directly send proof of delivery details to your personal dashboard. When you partner with NXTPoint Logistics, you’ll have more issue resolution control.

In general, factors that go into the cost of threshold home delivery services include the weight of the packages with more weight equaling higher costs. Dimensions also matter with larger sizes of packages taking up more room in the truck. Distance is another factor because more mileage equals the need for more fuel. As another factor, how quickly the package is set to be delivered can make a difference with faster delivery increasing the price. 

Because each shipment can have a different mix of these factors, there’s no one single answer to this question. NXTPoint has big negotiating power, and we get our customers the best prices available. So, to get answers about your specific threshold home delivery costs, please provide us with the details.

Threshold delivery is one type of final mile delivery services that are expertly provided by NXTPoint Logistics. Others include the following:

To reduce pain points for an enhanced customer experience, we offer tech-driven exceptional management solutions, including NXT Star, to improve visibility and save your company money. 
• Value-added last mile services: These include the assembly of large and bulky products, installation, and so forth.
