Commercial Inside Delivery

When the shipper requests inside delivery, the freight is delivered beyond the roadside to just inside the front door of a commercial building if accessible by a pallet jack. The service does not include bringing the freight up an elevator or down any long hallways that require precise movements.

When delivering to a dock, the driver can move the freight beyond the threshold if they have a pallet jack. The service does not include breaking down the cargo and removing the debris. An additional fee may be requested for that type of service. It is separate from a standard inside delivery service charge.

Residential Inside Delivery

A standard delivery at a residence occurs at the end of a driveway or the curb. If the freight needs to be brought to a porch or garage, then inside delivery would be required. The driver can get the cargo to the entry of a garage if it’s a non-gravel driveway without a steep slope. It’s the driver’s discretion whether they cross the threshold of the garage. (Most carriers will not enter and place an item in the garage since it’s inside the home.) However, a driver may let you use their pallet jack to maneuver the freight to a location inside the garage. It’s based on the driver’s discretion.

Inside delivery does not include bringing freight into a home or beyond the porch. If the driver is going to get the cargo to a porch, there would need to be no steps as they have nothing to lift the freight with. That would require a more specialized service like white glove delivery if the cargo needed to be brought inside the home. The same conditions apply for inside pickup.
