Elevating Your Ground Expedite Experience

Need extra TLC for your order? You can request additional services, or our experts can recommend the best approach for a smooth shipping process.

Door-to-Door Services

S-2 can handle the entire process of moving freight from a specific shipping location directly to your consignee. This type of direct transport requires minimal involvement from the customer, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Pad-Wrapping

To further prevent damage during transit, S-2 can arrange for careful wrapping of items in protective packaging. This is especially useful for fragile or sensitive items that need extra protection against bumps, scratches, or other inherent risks of the shipping process.

Lift-Gate

When a pickup or delivery location does not have a dock or forklift for easy loading or unloading, lift-gates can facilitate the process for heavy and bulk items. Lift-gates are hydraulic platforms attached to the back of a truck that can be raised or lowered. They also help your delivery driver safely transport items.

Inside Delivery

Beyond the doorstep, S-2 can pick up or deliver your freight at a designated room or area inside a shipper's or recipient's location. This service is ideal for large or heavy items that your recipient may need help moving into the building. Aside from convenience, this process ensures the items are placed exactly where needed.
