Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, released the results of a consumer sentiment study of ecommerce home delivery.

“Ecommerce and home delivery present opportunities and challenges to retailers and logistics organizations. In our study, consumers indicated they will increase their ecommerce purchases in the future, but 73% of them said they experienced a delivery failure in the last three months (see Figure 1),” said Chris Jones, EVP, Industry and Services at Descartes. “The results of poor delivery performance can be catastrophic for retailers with almost one-quarter of the respondents in our study citing that they did not order from that retailer again.”
The study analyzes consumer ecommerce buying behavior, what is causing ecommerce purchases to increase or decrease, the kinds of goods purchased, their frequency and which ones are being delivered. In addition, it provides insight into delivery services, charges and performance. Most importantly, it analyzes the importance that consumers place on delivery performance and the impact of delivery failures on future purchases.
