Disruptors like Amazon have raised the stakes in offering next day/ same day delivery to customers. Not only are major disruptors like Amazon changing the pace and speed of delivery but also customers are contributing to this dynamic shift, expecting expedient and cheap delivery.
In a recent study where 1,000 U.S. customers were surveyed, it was found that customers expect to wait an average of 4.8 days for delivery, down from 5.5 days in 2012.
Not only are customers wanting to wait less for deliveries, they expect cheaper rates for bulk items to be delivered to their home. White-glove delivery services are becoming more in-demand and retailers need to prepare how to deliver, and even install, oversize items.
What’s even more interesting is that 25% percent of those surveyed said that they had purchased home furnishings for home delivery in the past year and 30% said that would make purchases in the upcoming year.
It is no surprise that white glove and home delivery are necessary components for your delivery business.
