Did you know that missed deliveries can negatively impact your customer loyalty and bottom line?
\nAccording to a study from Voxware<\/a>, 69% of consumers are less likely or much less likely to shop with a retailer in the future if an item they purchased is not delivered within two days of the date promised. Moreover, 16% said that they will abandon shopping with a retailer altogether if they receive an incorrect delivery just one time, and 14% will do so if they receive a late delivery just one time.
\nThere\u2019s no denying that missed deliveries are frustrating and time-consuming for both consumers and retailers. In fact,\u00a0research from PCA Predict<\/a>\u00a0found that failed and late deliveries pose a significant cost to\u00a0more than 65% of businesses. How so?
\nWell, a consumer immediately forms a negative perception of a retail brand if their delivery is missed. These feelings then develop into complaints (impacting the time and resources of your customer services team), and\u00a0negative reviews (losing repeat or referred business down the line). Last mile drama equates to significant costs for retailers. For example, missed deliveries increase labor costs due to rises in customer service calls and courier fines, canceled orders and negative reviews all chip away at the bottom line.
\nAdditionally, PCA Predicts\u2019s research found that more than half of all retailers refund\u00a0delivery charges\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0pay additional costs for re-delivery, with a further 38% offering the customer a discount by way of apology. Moreover, a 2013 LexisNexis True Cost of Fraud Study,<\/a> found that U.S. e-tailers on average lose 0.51% of their annual revenue to fraud and on average, 36% of this fraud is attributed to stolen and lost merchandise. Retailers typically take on the expense of having to replace these lost or stolen items along with the additional shipping costs.
\nParcel Pending alleviates the commotion of order delivery management for retailers.
