What Cabinet Dealers Need to Know About Final-Mile Delivery
Your cabinets may be crafted with care—but if they don’t arrive safely and on time, the customer experience suffers. That’s where final-mile delivery makes all the difference. It’s the last stretch from distribution center to the install site, and it’s often where things can go wrong—or right.
1. Why Final-Mile Delivery Matters
This is the most sensitive phase. Cabinets are fully finished and fragile. Whether it’s a homeowner or a contractor receiving them, expectations are high.
2. Standard Freight Isn’t Enough
Freight carriers treat cabinets like any other shipment. But they’re not—they require careful handling, protective gear, and trained drivers.
3. The Risks of Getting It Wrong
Late arrivals delay installs. Damaged cabinets lead to returns, unhappy customers, and extra costs. And inconsistent delivery reflects poorly on your brand.
