Approximately 41% of customers abandoned their carts because shipping charges were more than expected, and 26% did so because shipping took too long.
32% of shoppers put the environmental friendliness of shipping options ahead of both price and timeliness.
Multi-carrier shipping strategies, providing estimated delivery dates (EDD) and notifying customers in case of delays are among the best shipping practices.
