Delivery experience definition
Delivery experience (DX) means the delivery interaction between your e-commerce brand and your consumers throughout the entire shopping journey — from product consideration until the moment they receive the order.
The e-commerce domain generally focuses on the sale of products to the exclusion of the delivery experience, and the delivery offer commonly belongs to the checkout page — something to be reached nearly at the end.
That's an outdated e-commerce delivery strategy. Nowadays, it's a make-it-or-break-it element of the buyer decision process.
85% of online consumers say that a poor delivery experience discourages them from ordering from the same online retailer again. They get frustrated by failed delivery expectations, which include unexpected costs, lack of flexibility and delivery promise.
Your customers want a delivery-first approach that indicates the delivery methods, prices and time estimates in advance — from the moment they land on the product page and onwards — and enables them to choose the option that fits.
