E-Commerce Firms Face Delivery Dilemma
from the changes-necessary dept
B2C firms need to figure out ways to better deliver high margin items if they want to survive, according to a new study. The important part is figuring out how to deliver products to homes profitably. Delivery costs are apparently eating into many e-commerce firms' margins. Of course, I think if an e-commerce hadn't figured this out already, they've got more problems than just determining their delivery strategy.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
