Shoppers have 'zero tolerance for delivery failures'
UK consumers are particularly unforgiving when it comes to…. failed deliveries. A single disaster is all it takes and two-thirds of UK shoppers won't return to a brand after the disappointment, according to shipping platform Sendcloud. It reveals that 57% of UK shoppers encountered a delivery issue in the last three months, and that many are unwilling to give retailers a second chance, its survey of 1,000 UK consumers, reveals. Nearly a quarter (23.6%) also reported late deliveries, while 17.9% had parcels left in insecure locations, and 14% received damaged items. Even minor mishaps, such as not receiving tracking updates (11.1%) or inaccurate tracking data (10.8%), were enough to deter shoppers. According to the study ' E-commerce Delivery Compass 2025 ', 64.3% said they would not reorder from a retailer after a failed delivery. For many, a damaged parcel (59.4%) or even a delay (33.2%) would be enough to walk away. 'When deliveries go wrong, shoppers want answers', the report said. 'Yet communication often falls short' with 45% of shoppers reporting problems tracking their most recent order. For many, it's a frustrating puzzle: 37% are frustrated by receiving updates from multiple sources; 45.5% regularly check different platforms to piece together the delivery status; and 34.1% say notifications arrive too late to adjust their schedule. The vast majority of UK shoppers (85.4%) expect to be notified immediately if there's a delay with their order. When packages are delayed without explanation, 83.2% say they feel frustrated. If something goes wrong, 91% want a simple, direct way to reach customer support. Rob van den Heuvel, CEO and co-founder of Sendcloud, said: 'Online shoppers have a zero-tolerance attitude toward delivery failures, especially when those failures are met with silence. Retailers invest significant time and money acquiring customers, but one bad delivery experience can undo it all. That's why it's essential to stay in control of the delivery journey, with proactive updates and quick responses when things go wrong. Ultimately, loyalty is built only after the checkout.'
