Who is a Delivery Agent?

A Delivery Agent, also known as a delivery service or courier service, is an entity responsible for transporting goods from a seller’s location, distribution center, or warehouse to the buyer’s specified destination. This role is pivotal in ensuring that products reach customers accurately and efficiently. 

Delivery Agents specialize in “last mile” delivery, which is the final leg of the delivery journey, covering the relatively short distance from a local distribution point to the buyer’s doorstep. They handle a wide range of parcels, packages, and goods, including retail products, groceries, documents, and more. Delivery Agents are equipped to manage various types of cargo efficiently.
