Carrier performance is especially important during the peak season as it can have a direct impact on your business. If carriers are not performing up to par, it can lead to delayed or lost shipments, which can in turn frustrate customers and cause them to take their business elsewhere. To avoid such problems during the much-anticipated holiday period, it is crucial for e-commerce retailers to partner with a reliable and experienced courier company. They will be able to manage your shipments efficiently and ensure that they are delivered on time.
With this in mind, our media partner Parcel Monitor has examined the performance of the top 5 couriers in North America during peak season last year. Key findings of the report include:
