Final delivery
Final leg. Accessorials such as liftgate or inside delivery should match what was actually requested.
What it is calculated on
Once per shipment, regardless of size.
What it appears as on real documents
Providers write the same charge many different ways. All of these mean this charge:
- delivery
- delivery charge
- final delivery
- door delivery
- local delivery
- last mile
- delivery to door
- ltl delivery
- tailgate delivery
- inside delivery
- residential delivery
- liftgate
What settles it when you question it
The test is whether the amount matches what was quoted, on the same basis. If the basis changed, that is the thing to ask about rather than the total.
Ask for:
- Original rate quotation
- Signed delivery receipt
- Driver waiting-time record
Before you book
This is normally quoted. If it is missing from your quotation, ask why before booking.
Ask: Confirm the delivery address it was priced to, and which accessorials (liftgate, inside, residential) are extra.

Upload your quotation and final invoice. ChargeBasis pairs every charge on its normalised type rather than its wording, reports which part of the difference your documents actually explain, and names the document that would settle the rest.
