At this point, are delivery mistakes hindering you from providing the best customer experience? We’ve identified 5 commonly overlooked delivery errors to help your business rise to the next level!

Choose Express Delivery for Greater Customer Satisfaction!

Mistake #1: Not Taking Advantage Of Express Delivery To Serve Your Customers Better

In some cases, customers wouldn’t mind waiting a few days in exchange for a cheaper delivery fee. In other cases, such as emergencies or simply spontaneous desire, customers may be looking for express delivery that gets them their goods in the shortest time.

Are you making that option available for them? Research has shown that a large percentage of customers making expensive purchases prefer to pay a little extra for quicker deliveries. Moreover, if the quality and variation of your goods are comparable with that of your competitors, express delivery can give you that extra edge!

Perhaps you are thinking, there’s no way to anticipate the timing and frequency of incoming orders, not to mention promise express delivery! We understand; these factors do pose challenges in planning the best logistic approach.

Solution:

Good news, it can be done effortlessly! We’re here to help you rise above the competition with on-demand and affordable express delivery! Whether you need it within the day or the hour, we’ll settle it for you!

Match Up to the Speed of In-Store Shopping with Express Delivery!

Mistake #3: Not Treating Regular Orders With Urgency

Getting your products to your customers in time for annual festivities is indeed important. But speed is also vital on regular days. Many customers who prefer shopping at brick and mortar stores cite instant gratification as the main reason for doing so. Hence, we should match this experience in our online orders as well.

Solution:

As compared to the in-store experience, standard delivery that requires 1-3 days has not matched up in speed. Capture this crowd with express delivery that saves them the trip to the mall!

Expect the Unexpected with Lalamove’s Insurance Coverage

Mistake #4: Not Getting Insurance For Your Delivery

Do you sell bulky and expensive wares? Lost and damaged items must be one of your biggest nightmares. They can result in more than monetary losses, as your brand and reputation are put at risk too.

Unfortunately, not every courier company provides insurance coverage. For companies who do, terms and conditions may render it difficult to make claims. For others, the coverage amount may not be high.

Solution:

Say goodbye to such worries by delivering with Lalamove! With our insurance coverage, any loss and damage can easily be covered without incurring any costs on your side.

With us, get peace of mind from just $3, as you get up to $2000 in coverage for cargo loss and damage! Moreover, it’s available as an add-on service whenever you need, instead of a fixed monthly subscription.
