Seamless fulfillment involves not only choosing the right providers for the job but also keeping customers in the loop about their order’s real-time status or any hiccups. Because, let’s face it, hiccups are unavoidable: 11% of deliveries face delays or other issues. But that’s where your stellar customer service will come into play. A little transparency, effort, and understanding will go a long way to improving the post-purchase experience and ensuring brand loyalty.

In the third quarter, Best Buy’s online sales expanded 21.6 percent, with about half of the gain attributed to the chain-wide rollout of ship-from-store capabilities in January 2014. Others are using a hub store model in each region. For instance, Walmart is using 83 Supercenters for ship-from-store and Target, 136.

It’s clear that shipping matters to your customers. It’s also obvious that the pressure and expectations for ever faster and cheaper shipping are only increasing. Online retailers invest heavily in driving traffic to their website and maximizing conversions. Just as much attention needs to be placed on the final touch point they’ll have with their customer — a good delivery experience.

As an operations and business model, ship-from-store makes no sense at all. It just adds extra layers of handling and that adds up to costs. The only sense it makes is to use it to balance out-of-balance inventories that are in stores. Efficiency comes from consolidating inventory, automated picking and bulk shipping. Ship-from-store is contrary to all these steps.

The Asia Pacific dominated the market and accounted for over 25.9% of the global revenue share in 2021. The region is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period on the back of increasing internet penetration and growth prospects offered by relatively untapped markets in the region (rural areas and second-tier cities). In addition, countries, such as China, Japan, and South Korea, are among the top 10 exporters of merchandise and account for a large portion of global online sales. Thus, the strong growth prospect of the e-commerce industry in the region is the major factor supporting the regional market growth.

COVID-19 challenges. Online orders are currently taking longer to process, ship, and arrive, which means delivery issues or delays have become more common. If the reasons for delays are unreasonable, it may be time to consider a change in fulfillment providers or shipping methods. Otherwise, there’s not much retailers can do besides tracking orders better, spotting disruptions, and informing customers. But some transparency goes a long way: Retailers are opting to put COVID-19 notices wherever applicable on their websites, such as homepages, shopping carts, shipping pages, and product pages. This, along with listing a conspicuous COVID-19 estimated delivery date (EDD) for orders, encourages 75.1% of shoppers to go ahead with a purchase.
