„Pickup and Delivery Service“

An optional additional service for the transport of shipments from shipper’s door to originating carrier’s terminal and from the terminal of destination to receiver’s door, offered by some airlines, railroads and sometimes by other shipping modes. With some transportation services such as the postal and small package express services, it is a standard service rather than optional.
