Ecommerce is on the up, and according to BigCommerce 75% of us shop online at least once a month. However, as more of us are getting our shopping shipped direct to our door, we’re also starting to experience issues that come with traditional package deliveries.
Here’s a list of a few common issues that online shoppers are experiencing, and what you can do to stop them:
More often than not, when you’re not home your package will get left on your porch. This leaves it exposed to the elements – and we all know how unpredictable the weather can be!
If your package is left out in the wind or rain, the boxes it has arrived in probably aren’t going to do much to protect it. This means that the brand new clothes, books or tech you’ve ordered might be ruined before you’ve even had a chance to open them.
Whenever you order from one of your favorite vendors, you’re at the mercy of whichever courier they choose to use. Some package companies might try to give you an estimated delivery window, but these often span over many hours and sometimes they still don’t get there in time! Others don’t give you any indication at all.
This means that if you want to avoid your package being left outside, it’s almost impossible to schedule any plans around it arriving. This can be super frustrating.
With traditional package delivery, it’s their way or the highway. Some courier companies will let you pick a chosen delivery date, but at a much higher cost.
Like we mentioned above, this could leave you waiting around for your packages to be dropped off, or you have to run the risk that your deliveries being left outside if no one’s home.
This is one of the worst issues that comes with traditional package delivery. Unfortunately, porch piracy levels are rising. This means that every time your package is left outside, you’re at risk of it getting stolen.
If your package is stolen, you have to waste time and energy contacting the vendor and trying to organise a new item to be sent out. Sometimes this comes at an extra cost, and if the item you ordered is sold out, you might not get it at all!
Surely something as simple as getting the stuff you’ve paid for shouldn’t be so difficult, right?
