2-man delivery – Last-mile logistics to your customer’s home

When customers order new furniture or household appliances, it is essential that they arrive safely and intact. Our 2-man delivery service pairs skilled professionals to guarantee your items are delivered securely and efficiently to your customer’s room of choice.

Complete last-mile solutions

Our comprehensive logistics service ensures 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 covers transportation, assembly, installation and responsible packaging disposal. If needed, we also manage returns, providing a seamless experience for you and your customers. Operating across many European countries, we are dedicated to making the final mile a positive and stress-free experience.

With our next-day delivery options, your customers benefit from fast and reliable service. Our advanced tracking system keeps them informed via email, text message or online, and clear delivery windows are provided to ensure convenience. We also work to improve 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 are delivered to our national distribution center, we take over the forwarding of the goods to the regional distribution centers according to the hub-and-spoke model. From there, delivery to the recipient takes place on the agreed upon delivery date. Daily main runs to the delivery locations mean that short transit times can be guaranteed since only one location has to be reached. Alternatively, you can inject your goods directly into our delivery locations, which avoids transshipment and enables us to offer shorter transit times. We also offer a combination of regional and central injection.
