How to Get Consumers to Accept Slower Deliveries on Online Orders
- PaulHoule 4y agoMy take is that since the pandemic Amazon has given up on Amazon Prime deliveries getting to my place in two days. Every other major retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ...) seems to deliver things faster than promised lately. I think Amazon gets people accept slower deliveries by "you've subscribed to Amazon Prime for 10 years, you've made it such a habit that we don't have to work hard".
- gnicholas 4y agoAmazon doesn't want to push slower deliveries, since fast delivery is one of the main selling points of Prime (which generates tons of revenue).
- mytailorisrich 4y agoIn relatively densely populated areas (I'm in the UK) I suspect that the "environmental cost" of fast deliveries is minimal to zero because the whole logistics chain is busy anyway. Impact starts to build up when vans/trucks have to be dispatched when load is not full yet in order to meet deadlines (assuming ICE vehicles).
