Rethinking Logistics: Why Same-Day Delivery is the Missing Link for 3PLs and Retailers

The retail and logistics industries are transforming as consumer expectations for faster delivery intensify. Studies show that in 80% of shoppers who desire same-day shipping, 41% of them willing to pay more for expedited delivery, yet the majority of businesses still struggle to meet this demand. Without the right solutions, companies risk losing customers to competitors who prioritize speed and convenience.

Shipsi offers an innovative solution that enables both 3PLs and retailers to integrate same-day delivery seamlessly. With a network of 7 million drivers across 5,000+ cities, Shipsi helps businesses scale efficiently, improve customer satisfaction, and drive significant growth.

The Challenge: Keeping Up with Consumer Behavior

Modern consumers expect instant gratification, making delivery speed a decisive factor in their purchasing decisions. Recent studies indicate that among the 80% of consumers who want same-day shipping, 76.3% want the option to receive packages within three (3) hours of ordering. Additionally, a survey conducted in November 2023 across North America and Europe revealed that nearly a quarter of respondents prioritized delivery speed as the most crucial aspect of their online shopping experience. Yet, many retailers and 3PL providers face challenges such as:  

• Limited last-mile delivery infrastructure.  
• High cart abandonment rates due to long shipping timelines.  
• Difficulty differentiating in a highly competitive marketplace.  

These barriers not only result in lost revenue but also erode brand loyalty in a fast-paced digital economy. To stay competitive, retailers must adopt smarter fulfillment strategies that meet evolving consumer expectations while maintaining operational efficiency.
