RSL's order fulfillment services already offer customers a variety of shipping methods that provide both cost savings, as well as a way to expedite delivery to clients. The company's Xparcel Expedited offers 2–5-day transit shipping, while Xparcel Ground provides a 3–8-day transit time for deliveries. In fact, recent statistics confirm that RSL clients using Xparcel Ground have saved as much as 29% in delivery costs.

The shippers are still facing uncertainty in the movement of goods owing to the mandated lockdown in certain countries. On the contrary, the pandemic opened a new long-term growth avenue for e-commerce and service contentment companies. To better fulfill the growing number of online sale orders, e-commerce companies increasingly prefer outsourcing fulfillment services to providers that are increasingly focusing on improving their internal operational efficiency and a strong distribution network.

"Since 2020, eCommerce retailers have seen increased consumer demand, coupled with higher shipping costs," said RSL Chief Executive Officer Michael Manzione. "Ecommerce retailers are constantly looking for methods to lower costs and boost their bottom lines while still meeting customer delivery expectations. In response to that demand, we knew we had to fast-track our family of Xparcel shipping solutions."

In the age of e-commerce, customers expect their products to be delivered quickly and with accuracy. Staying up to date on supply chain management technology can be the gap between fulfilling orders at an average rate and delivering orders at the quick pace your customers crave. Market America | SHOP.COM has discovered how impactful certain warehouse technology can be when shipping customers their orders quickly. Chad Sullivan, Market America | SHOP.COM’s Global Distribution Manager, says the company he works for has found three specific technologies that are integral to a fast delivery system and a better online shopping experience: an ERP (or enterprise resource planning accounting system), a warehouse management system (or WMS) and a pick to light system.

And in fact, a look at the Digital Commerce 360 Top 1000 database reinforces that 74.4% of retailers have some sort of free shipping. Just 20.4% had unconditional free shipping for all orders, while 45.1% had free shipping when shoppers reached a dollar threshold. Lastly, 14.5% had another pre-requisite which often includes being part of a loyalty program.

Subscription boxes are a great way to lock in recurring revenue. They provide consumers with a selection of curated products. Customers can choose a variety of items each month. This is a great way to keep necessities topped up, which can help consumers save money. However, managing subscription eCommerce can be complicated. This is why many ecommerce businesses turn to subscription box fulfilment services.

Amazon has completely changed online shipping and delivery expectations. Customers now expect free two-day delivery to be the standard norm rather than the previous standard of three- to five-day delivery. (And if you’re shipping times are longer than that? Good luck getting customers to place an order.) They now offer one-day and same-day delivery options, making it even harder for businesses that don’t use Amazon fulfillment to compete.
