B\"Delivery<\/a>ig companies have set the bar high in delivery, with next day delivery having led to Click and Collect, same-day delivery and even same-hour delivery, says a report by Pitney Bowes and WBR Digital<\/strong><\/a>. The challenge for retailers is that customers don\u2019t want to pay more, so retailers must try to achieve the best possible solution.<\/p>\n

The report highlights the findings of a research from May 2016, when 100 Heads of Operations, Heads of Logistics and Heads of E-Commerce were asked about where they stand and what they predict for the future of delivery.<\/p>\n

Eastern Europe – an important destination<\/h3>\n

\"EuropeanThe research was developed in:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Denmark<\/li>\n
  • Finland<\/li>\n
  • France<\/li>\n
  • Germany<\/li>\n
  • Norway<\/li>\n
  • Sweden<\/li>\n
  • United Kingdom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For most retailers, in-country deliveries<\/strong> make up the majority of sales. However, internatonal sales have become increasingly important. 40% of respondents reported that between approximately a third and a half of their deliveries are international.<\/p>\n

    Western and Eastern Europe<\/strong> took the top spots for delivery (98% and 66% respectively), followed by America (61%) and Asia (56%). As for the provided services, 20% of retailers do not yet offer online parcel tracking and 17% do not offer any email or text updates.<\/p>\n

    From offline to online and back<\/h3>\n

    It is very difficult to track the buying behaviour of consumers from online to in-store and back again, especially, in an environment where so many customer journeys begin in one channel and end in another.<\/p>\n

    Concerning the shipping\/carrier options offered to consumers, the vast majority of retailers use mainstream carriers<\/strong> to fulfil their deliveries. Pitney Bows thinks that, from convenience to personalised service to competitive pricing, serving up a multi-carrier option serves both retailer and consumer very well. Allowing customers to select the best option for their needs helps meet expectations and drive consumer loyalty.<\/p>\n
