Meeting Expectations: How to Spark Joy (Again) For Local Deliveries

 

From traditional mails and parcels to ecommerce shipments to cooked food from your favourite stall, every so often these days, one gets news from mainstream and social media, on how local delivery service providers are not meeting delivery expectations.

The most recent delivery fiasco involves Singapore’s state-owned postal and logistics organisation, which brought about a huge outpouring of strong emotions and disappointment over lost and missed deliveries due to process and protocols infringements and lack of performance checks.

Trust level on local courier services has reached an all-time low. So how can joy be sparked again for local deliveries?

In the last survey conducted by the Institute of Service Excellence at Singapore Management University in 2016, customer satisfaction for courier services in Singapore was 72.4%, and the factors which impact satisfaction level are:

  1. Reliability of delivery
  2. Timeliness of delivery personnel
  3. Ease of arranging pick-up for shipments
  4. Interaction with delivery personnel
  5. Tracking information
  6. Payment process
  7. Responsiveness to queries

PwC’s Global Consumer Insights Survey 2018 on Delivery Expectations, discovered that consumers want fast, flexible and reliable shipments and are willing to pay more for same-day or faster delivery.
