Running an Ecommerce Business? Your Courier Matters More Than You Think
For ecommerce sellers in Trichy, Chennai, Coimbatore, Salem, Madurai, and Bangalore, delivery experience directly impacts customer reviews, repeat purchases, and return rates. Here's how to get it right.
Choosing the Right Courier Partner
- Coverage — Does the courier deliver to all your customer locations?
- Speed — Can they match the delivery timelines you promise customers?
- Tracking — Do customers get real-time updates?
- COD support — If you offer cash-on-delivery, does the courier handle collections?
- Return handling — How do they manage reverse logistics?
Reducing Return-to-Origin (RTO) Rates
RTOs are an ecommerce seller's biggest logistics cost. Reduce them by:
- Verifying customer phone numbers before dispatch
- Confirming delivery address via WhatsApp or SMS
- Offering prepaid payment incentives to reduce COD orders
- Choosing a courier with photo proof of delivery attempts
- Shipping within promised timelines to avoid cancellations
Packaging for Ecommerce
- Use branded packaging if possible — improves unboxing experience
- Include invoice/packing slip inside the parcel
- Use bubble wrap for anything fragile
- Seal packages tamper-proof to prevent open-delivery fraud
Pricing Strategies for Shipping
- Free shipping above ₹X — Increases average order value
- Flat rate shipping — Simple for customers to understand
- Real cost pass-through — For heavy/bulky items where shipping is significant
