In 2018, eight out of ten shoppers were unlikely to shop again with a vendor after a poor delivery experience and 90% expect a full refund for late deliveries. As consumer expectations continue to grow how are retailers keeping up?
By 2017, businesses in the United States were spending $1.5 trillion on shipping and logistics, up 6% from 2016. During this same time, e-commerce sales, time-sensitive freight volume, and US imports also increased, furthering the pressure. When considering solutions, smart business leaders focus on tools that manage profit margins while also reducing operating costs – easier said than done.
