In the competitive world of online retail, losing a sale at the final click due to inadequate delivery options can be devastating. Big-ticket items often see checkout stalls when installation and delivery choices are lacking. Discover how optimising these services can recover lost revenue and increase customer satisfaction.
Key takeaways

Step 1 of 6
When customers shop for high-value items like appliances, the delivery and installation services offered at checkout play a crucial role. Many abandon their carts when faced with limited or non-existent options, opting instead for competitors who provide comprehensive delivery solutions. This is especially true for big-and-bulky items, where room-of-choice delivery and professional installation are decisive factors.
Step 2 of 6
Imagine a potential buyer ready to purchase a £700 appliance. At checkout, they realise the delivery option doesn't include installation or room-of-choice placement, leading to cart abandonment. This pattern repeats across various high-ticket categories, leaking significant revenue as customers turn to competitors with better service offerings.
