3 Tips for Smooth Last Mile Delivery in Olympia

A&E has been moving Olympia homes and businesses since 1898. Last mile delivery, also called final mile delivery, is the final trip from the warehouse to your customer or job site, and it is where small mistakes show up fast. Here is what we suggest.

Tip 1: Check Access Before Delivery Day

Ask the building about dock hours, elevator use, and parking. We work with building management at both ends, but it helps when you share the details early.

Tip 2: Keep a Clear List of Every Item

Count and label your goods before pickup, and take photos of anything valuable. When items reach our warehouse, we inventory them, so you can match your list to ours.

Tip 3: Plan for Rain

Western Washington is rainy, so wrap or crate anything that cannot get wet. Pick a delivery window with some extra room, and let us hold your goods in the warehouse until the day you need them.

Olympia Keeps Growing

Olympia is the capital of Washington, and it keeps getting bigger. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 46,478 people in Olympia in 2010 and 55,605 in 2020. That is about 20 percent more neighbors in ten years. The growth reaches beyond the city, too. Thurston County went from 252,264 people in 2010 to 294,793 in 2020.

Goods have been arriving in Olympia for a long time. The Washington Employment Security Department notes that Olympia became the port of entry for Puget Sound in 1851. Today, the Port of Olympia runs a marine import and export terminal on Budd Inlet, and the City of Olympia says it is the only city in Thurston County with a deep water harbor. State government is also a major employer here, making up about 23 percent of jobs in Thurston County.

With offices, homes, and a working port all in one area, a delivery can look very different from one stop to the next. Our commercial crews work with building management on elevators and loading docks, and our crews know Olympia’s flat waterfront areas and hilly streets. Olympia also sits between Seattle and Portland, so we often help customers lower transport costs by grouping regional deliveries. We are proud to have served this community since 1898, and we are glad to grow along with it.

Last Mile Delivery in Olympia FAQ

Last mile delivery is the final step in shipping, when goods move from a local hub to the customer. Many people also call it final mile delivery. Forbes describes it as the leg that reaches businesses, stores, and consumers in the destination area. The same article calls it one of the hardest and most expensive parts of the supply chain, which is why a careful plan matters.

Yes, A&E offers a final mile delivery service and handles the first mile too. The first mile is picking up goods from a maker or supplier, and the final mile is delivering them to a store or customer. Our Office Manager, Kira McIntyre, says, “The first and last legs of transport require extra coordination. Small delays early on can affect the entire delivery window, so planning ahead is critical.”

The cost depends on your job, so we give each customer a custom estimate. We look at how much space you need, how long goods are stored, the distance, the handling and equipment needed, and how often you need deliveries. Request a free estimate online or call (360) 491-2370.
