Problem or Opportunity
When it comes to the last mile, the pandemic is finishing what Amazon started. Whether it’s same-day, two-day, or choose-your-day, customers have come to expect dependable home delivery. And with the pandemic, those expectations have only increased.
Accounting for 53% of shipping costs, the last mile continues to be the critical piece where efficiency and consistency are lacking. And these costs only continue to rise as skyrocketing home delivery demand is overwhelming traditional last mile carriers and resulting in surcharges.
