Summary

Welcome to the IMRG UK Consumer Home Delivery Review – 2018/19, which is a landmark edition as the tenth in the series. We survey over 2,000 UK households to benchmark current levels of customer satisfaction and expectation in regard to online delivery. The review has become a vital tool to help retailers shape their delivery proposition and anticipate future needs.

Over the past ten years this ‘deep-dive’ review has established a unique place in the field of e-commerce consumer research, asking more than 50 questions consistently focussed about online fulfilment and delivery. It not only provides a snapshot of the current position but offers this in the context of the evolving landscape, with up to ten years trend data for most questions.

This report covers:

  • What motivates shoppers to choose home delivery
  • Black Friday 2018 delivery statistics
  • Where people most like to have their deliveries made
  • The penetration of click and collect
  • The popularity of premium services
  • How mobile devices are used to monitor deliveries
  • Returns in 2018/19
