French term or phrase: MEUBLE LDD
This is another one without much context from the same XLS as my previous question. It comes between MATELAS and ENSEMBLE CUISINE LDD. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with durable development!

Could it be some sort of flat-pack furniture?

Explanation:
'meuble' various possiiblities, but sounds like it might be a kitchen, bathrom, etc. unit.

I've found references for LDD = Livraison Directe à Domicile, which might fit your context?

I've invented 'DHD' for 'Direct Home Delivery', I'm not aware if there is an 'official' term in EN for this!

Right, Terry, if that does indeed turn out to be the case, that would explain it perfectly. Good luck!

Usually, with those trucks, if you choose home delivery you pay extra, but perhaps these items are only available on home delivery, so no supplement (included in the price!)

Thanks Tony!
Notes to answerer
Asker: I think you nailed it Tony. I'm becoming more and more convinced that this is a catalogue of items for sale from a truck. It would make sense that these items are too large to fit on the truck and you just order and pay for them at the truck and then they are delivered direct to your home.

agree  gallagy2: seems very plausible. Posting links a real hassle sometimes!

  -> Thanks, Gallagy! Seems to have gone wrong since Google changed their presentation... now it always pays to check every time :-(

agree  AllegroTrans: Yes, I would just use "home delivery" to be safe

  -> Thanks, C! Trouble is, the 'direct' is crucial, as it means it goes from warehouse > home without having passed through the shop (etc.) in between; new-style logistics!
