In the furniture sector, delivery is a critical part of customer experience, but managing logistics can be challenging. High delivery costs, the complexity of logistics management, vehicle maintenance, insurance and petrol issues, and on-time delivery often bring headaches for furniture companies. But, luckily EasyParcel’s courier partner — Lalamove, can help solve these problems!
Common Delivery Challenges of Furniture Company

Many furniture businesses choose to operate their own delivery fleets, which gives them more control but also more headaches! First, there are high costs associated with owning and maintaining vehicles, including repairs, insurance, fuel, and driver salaries. These expenses quickly add up, and unexpected maintenance costs can further strain the budget.
Additionally, managing efficient delivery routes is not always easy. Even with route optimization software, scheduling and real-time traffic conditions can cause delays and inefficiencies. This uncertainty leads to longer waiting times and can hurt customer satisfaction, which also leads to bad reviews and word of mouth for the company!
