Free Kerbside

Free Kerbside

What does this term stand for?

Free Kerbside refers to a delivery arrangement where the seller delivers goods to the kerbside (curbside) at the buyer’s premises or agreed location. The seller is responsible for transportation up to this point, while the buyer assumes responsibility for unloading and further handling. This term is commonly used in road transport logistics for heavy goods, appliances, or retail deliveries where the delivery vehicle cannot access internal loading areas. Free Kerbside simplifies responsibilities for sellers while clearly defining risk transfer, and it requires proper route planning, safe transport, and clear communication with the receiving party.
