Threshold Delivery
A service that involves delivering the product to the customer’s doorstep or the first dry area of the house.
Example
A customer orders a boxed bookshelf online. The delivery team provides threshold delivery by placing the package just inside the customer's front door, allowing the customer to bring it further inside and assemble it themselves.
