The business world is changing, Customers now care about excellent customer service than prices. This is why marketing has moved from being all about running digital and marketing campaigns to customer experience. Your customer service includes the customer’s experience with your delivery agency.

Statistics of Customer Service in 2019

• Across the globe, 96% of consumers say customer service is an important factor in their choice of loyalty to a brand. – Microsoft.
• When asking consumers what impacts their level of trust with a company, offering excellent customer service ranked number one – Dimensional Research.

These statistics show that indeed “Customer is the King” for any business. A smart businessman knows that to increase profits, you should not stop at getting new customers but ensure your customers are satisfied enough to refer you.

The Relationship between Your Business and Delivery

With the increase in online retail businesses, the demand for delivery services has increased. An online shopper can order goods and have it delivered without going to the store. A restaurant can process requests and have food delivered to different customers at different locations at the same time.

Most often than not, a little delay by the delivery service provider can cause a lot of damage. If the customer is not satisfied with the service rendered by the delivery representative, it falls back on the brand or business he/she was buying from. When this affects the relationship between that customer and the business, it falls back on the delivery agency.

My Experience

I ordered a braided wig from an online store. After explaining that the wig was needed on Saturday, the store promised to deliver on Thursday.  My package came late on Friday and a strand of the wig had pulled off, this was disappointing. I called the store and was told that the wig was in perfect shape when sent.

To cut the long story short, I had to look for an alternative. The next day, the store called to confirm the problem was from the delivery agency. They had promised her a free delivery the next day to compensate her. I do not know who caused my terrible customer experience but I never bought from the store and discouraged my friends too.

From my experience, it is evident that once a delivery service provider flops, it affects two ends. While they can try to reassure the business owner of their competence, it may not be the same for the end consumer.

Choose The Best Delivery Option

To ensure excellent customer service, a delivery service provider has to put in place an operational system that would keep their customers coming back. A system that makes delivery seamless, for example, an app. A lot of delivery agencies are using phone numbers to place orders, how effective is that for multiple requests?
