We know that consumers have high expectations and little patience when it comes to delivery. If only we knew what these expectations are.

Good news, we do now!

According to the “Battling BaskerAbandonment” whitepaper (published by Retail Economics-GFS, 2023), failing to meet customer delivery expectations at the checkout is costing online retailer a whopping £31.5billion.

Customers are more loyal to retailers that offer the most convenience and choice in delivery and returns.
