2-man delivery – personalized last-mile logistics

It is essential that new furniture and household appliances arrive safely and intact when customers order them. Our 2-man delivery service provides skilled professionals who ensure your customers receive their items securely and efficiently in the room of choice.

Complete last-mile solutions

Our comprehensive logistics service makes sure your products are carefully managed from start to finish. From secure storage in our multi-user warehouses to final delivery via last-mile logistics, our 2-man handling teams complete every step with precision. This includes transportation as well as assembly, installation and responsible disposal of packaging. If needed, we also manage returns, providing a seamless experience for you and your customers. Operating across numerous European countries, we are committed to making the final mile a positive and stress-free experience.

With our same-day and next-day delivery options, your customers benefit from rapid service. Our advanced tracking system keeps them informed via email, text message or online and provides precise delivery windows for added convenience. In addition, we help increase net promoter scores and implement measures for continuous quality improvement.

Flexible inbound delivery of your goods

To avoid long transport routes, we offer manufacturers and dealers several options for inbound delivery: central, regional or combined.

When goods arrive at our national distribution center, we manage the forwarding of the goods to the regional distribution centers according to the hub-and-spoke model. From there, delivery to the recipient occurs on the agreed upon delivery date. Daily main runs to the delivery locations ensure short transit times since only one location must be reached. Alternatively, you can inject your goods directly into our delivery locations, which avoids transshipment and allows us to offer shorter transit times. We also provide a combination of regional and central injection.
