last mile delivery Richmond VA

Last-mile delivery is the final leg of a shipment: the move from a terminal, cross-dock or warehouse to the address where the freight is actually used. It is the most visible part of the trip and the part most likely to go wrong, because every stop is different. One receiver has a dock, the next has a front door and three steps, and the one after that only accepts freight between 7 and 9 a.m. at a hospital loading bay.

Virginia Crossdock 247 is a last mile carrier based in Richmond. Because we also run a cross-dock, your freight can arrive on a linehaul trailer, be checked, photographed and staged on our floor, and then go out on one of our box trucks the next business day, or the same day when it is urgent. That combination of cross-docking and final-mile delivery under one roof is what separates us from a courier that only drives or a warehouse that only stores.

We deliver throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover and the Tri-Cities every day, and we run scheduled final mile delivery routes to Hampton Roads, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Baltimore.

Who it's for

Who uses our last-mile delivery

  • Freight brokers & 3PLs

    You need a reliable final mile partner in central Virginia who answers the phone, sends photos and does not hold your freight hostage.

  • Manufacturers & distributors

    Ship a truckload into our Richmond dock and let us break it down into individual deliveries to dealers, contractors and end customers.

  • Retailers & e-commerce brands

    Bulky or heavy items that parcel carriers will not take: furniture, fitness equipment, appliances, fixtures and palletized orders.

  • Hospitals, schools & government

    Receivers with strict appointment windows, security check-ins and inside delivery requirements.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish

  1. Step 1

    Send us the details

    Call or text (804) 600-4352 or request a quote with pickup, delivery and freight details. We confirm the rate and the service level before anything moves.

  2. Step 2

    Freight arrives at our dock

    Your linehaul carrier delivers to our Richmond cross-dock, or we pick up locally. Every piece is counted, inspected and photographed on arrival.

  3. Step 3

    We schedule the receiver

    We contact the receiver to set an appointment or delivery window and confirm access: dock, liftgate, stairs, elevator or inside placement.

  4. Step 4

    Delivered with photo POD

    Our driver delivers, gets a signature and sends photos. You get the POD the same day, ready to close the load.

Pricing

What affects the price

We quote every last-mile delivery up front with accessorials listed, so the invoice matches the quote. Freight that also needs cross-docking starts from $20 per pallet with a $200 weekday minimum.

Distance & zone
Richmond metro stops cost less than a run to Northern Virginia or Hampton Roads. Multi-stop routes spread the linehaul across deliveries.
Size, weight & piece count
A single carton on a pallet prices differently from a 900 lb treadmill or eight pallets of fixtures.
Service level
Curbside or dock-to-dock is the base. Threshold, inside, room of choice and white glove add labor time.
Equipment & labor
Liftgate trucks, a second person, pallet jacks, stair climbing or assembly all affect the rate.
Timing
Next-day is standard. Same-day, tight appointment windows, after-hours and weekend delivery carry an added fee.

Why Richmond works as a last-mile hub

Richmond sits where I-95 meets I-64, with I-295 and I-85 a few minutes away. That puts our dock roughly 90 minutes from Norfolk, two hours from Washington DC and about an hour from Charlottesville and Fredericksburg. A final mile carrier based here can reach most of Virginia’s population on a same-day round trip.

For national shippers, that means you can send one consolidated truckload or LTL shipment into Richmond and have us handle the individual stops across the state, instead of paying a national LTL network to touch every delivery multiple times.

Redelivery, refusals and freight that nobody else wants

Receivers refuse freight. Appointments get missed. A driver arrives and the address has no dock. When that happens, the freight can come back to our Richmond warehouse, where it is checked, photographed and stored until the receiver is ready. We then redeliver on a new appointment, which is far cheaper than a return to origin.

Many brokers use us specifically for this recovery-and-redeliver service. Call or text the details and we will tell you what we can do and what it will cost before you commit.

FAQ

Last-Mile Delivery questions

What counts as last-mile delivery?

Last mile is the final move from a hub, terminal or cross-dock to the end receiver, whether that is a store, office, job site, hospital or home. If your linehaul carrier cannot or will not make the final stop, that is where we come in.

How far from Richmond do you deliver?

Daily across Greater Richmond and the Tri-Cities, and on scheduled routes to Hampton Roads, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Baltimore, Roanoke and Lynchburg. Longer moves are quoted case by case.

Do you offer same-day last-mile delivery?

Yes. Our standard turnaround is next day, and same-day delivery is available in the Richmond metro and to many Virginia cities when freight is ready early enough.

Can you deliver to homes as well as businesses?

Yes. We deliver to residential addresses with liftgate, threshold, inside or room-of-choice service, and we call ahead to set an appointment window.

What proof of delivery do I get?

A signed POD plus photos of the freight at the delivery location. If anything is damaged on arrival, it is noted and photographed before the driver leaves.

How do I get a last-mile delivery quote?
