Delivering Your Customer Promise: The Key to Smart Fulfilment on Marketplaces

Marketplaces By Amelia Erskine

British retailers offer some of the most competitive delivery propositions in the world.

Next Day Delivery has become the gold standard with an increasing number of retailers investing in same day and super fast delivery options. 73% of shoppers admit they have abandoned a basket because the delivery options were unsatisfactory — consumer expectation is higher than ever. In fact, delivery now presents retailers with a tried and tested upsell channel as nine in ten admit adding items to their basket in order to receive free shipping.

The ever-growing popularity of platforms like Amazon and eBay — plus dozens of others — make it easier than ever to get your products in front of millions of purchase-ready consumers. Shoppers have come to associate marketplaces with fast, efficient and usually free delivery alongside easy returns clearly communicated.

Getting your fulfilment right has never been so important.

But the fact is, fulfilment operations are hugely complex. And the demands are getting more difficult by the day. As a result, many sellers are starting to suffer from poor ratings on Amazon and other marketplaces — the kind that result from too many order cancellations, refunds, late deliveries and customer service nightmares.

Thankfully, you don’t have to weather these challenges alone. A growing array of fulfilment options have emerged to help sellers meet and exceed even the most difficult of delivery demands.
