Key eCommerce Shipping Information for Retailers

When selling online, NZ retailers who understand about and use an effective shipping strategy have a key advantage over those who don't. From saving time and money through to increased customer satisfaction and increased sales, the competitive advantages cannot be ignored.

Let's take a look at what your strategy options are, along with the key decisions you'll need to make.


What Your Customers Want to Know About Shipping

There's some key information that people shopping on your website want to know before they reach the checkout:

  • what will it cost?
  • do you have free shipping?
  • can I pick my courier?
  • what happens if I need to return something?
  • are you using sustainable packaging?

We take a look at what customers really want to know about in regards to shipping, and where you should put this information.

We also share some great ideas to reduce shipping costs too!


Site of the Month

The Bikeys website was until recently hosted on the Wix platform. Thanks to Andrew from Fury however, it has been beautifully redesigned and built on the Website World platform - and now with eCommerce capabilities! 

We're loving the scrolling photos at the top of the home page and the awesome use of Content Boxes to promote products and services!
