Three delivery attempts, no answer – that moment determines whether a delivery service fulfils its contractual obligation or generates a complaint. Delivery service refers to the operational act of physically transferring goods from a distribution or sorting hub to the consignee's address, encompassing route planning, vehicle loading, real-time tracking, and the final handover. Last-mile execution is the defining element: it shapes the recipient's experience and determines whether the carrier has met its obligation. Carriers distinguish between residential and commercial deliveries because access conditions, time windows, and service expectations differ substantially. Unlike the broader logistics network, the delivery service focuses specifically on the contractually defined handover – to the consignee, a neighbour, or a parcel locker.
