Systems and methods can enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes systems and methods for efficiently processing direct-to-customer shipments at a last mile delivery ('LMD') facility. The systems and methods are focused on rapid loading, unloading and cycling of LMD delivery vehicles through the operation in a space-efficient manner. In some embodiments, the delivery vehicles are cycled through the LMD facility in organized batches to allow high throughput with fast cycle time.

Systems and methods for preparing direct-to-customer shipments

Methods and systems for facilitating delivery of goods from a retail location to a customer are disclosed. In one method, a request is received from a customer user which includes an order for goods to be delivered from a retail store. One or more delivery users within a predefined geographic area shared with a location of the customer user are identified. A delivery user agrees to pick up the customer's order and deliver the requested goods to the customer's home. Confirmation messages are automatically sent and received when the delivery user picks up the customer's order and again when the order is delivered to the customer. The delivery user can earn rewards or payments upon completion of successful delivery.
