But we all do worry, because delivery time matters, especially at this time of year, especially when so many holiday items are bought online, and especially since so many customers are last-minute shoppers.
Will out-of-town gifts be delivered on time and in immaculate condition? Will the prepared foods and elaborate desserts arrive before your guests – and still be fresh and appetizing? How can you be sure the customized award items will be in-hand for the year-end office party? What if the cushy airbed you ordered for Aunt Jenny’s visit doesn’t get here before she does? And you sure don’t want that special surprise delivered while its intended recipient is at home.
More than half of consumers say they are more likely to purchase gifts from retailers that offer same-day holiday delivery, even if they have to pay extra for it. Almost one-third purchased a gift for same-day delivery. A full two-thirds say they are more likely to shop with a retailer again after receiving a same-day gift delivery. Among last-minute shoppers, more than ninety percent worry about on-time gift delivery, including in-store purchases that require delivery services.
So how can business meet the demand for same-day, pre-scheduled or specialized delivery during the holiday season? Is there a practical way to make last-mile deliveries fast, dependable and profitable, even when volumes and distances are unpredictable?
