The IMRG Delivery Forum works to streamline the progress of the home delivery industry into the internet age. Home delivery remains the Achilles ' heel of online shopping, all too often causing inefficiency, confusion and unnecessary cost. However, the delivery offer made by retailers is now acknowledged as one of the main product differentiators influencing who the consumer will shop with. The IDIS Delivery Charter and the IDIS Gold Standard for home delivery helps the e-Retail industry improve service level agreements, efficiency and profitability.
