There has been an increase in the number of people who have let delivery concerns prevent them from shopping online (a 4 percentage point increase relative to 2021), according to IMRG’s Consumer Home Delivery Review (2022/23) supported by Huboo. It is no wonder, given the mass media coverage of postal strikes in the latter half of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, together with heightened post-pandemic customer demands.

The risk of failed delivery due to no one being at home to receive the parcel is the leading concern for customers (57%), and following this is the additional cost of home delivery (45%). Also, trend lines have shown that the amount of customers who have never used click-and-collect services has increased (up 2.8 percentage points from 2021), likely owing to more customers having designated ‘safe spaces’ in their homes.

In helping retailers navigate international trends, the findings include that more customers than not have purchased from a non-UK website, albeit at a lower rate compared to the last four years. However, it is promising that of those who have, three-quarters would do so again.
