A study by on-demand delivery platform Stuart recently found that 88 percent of U.K. shoppers want better delivery services from local retailers and that only 4 percent of U.K. retailers offer same-day delivery options.
In the U.K., 72 percent of online shoppers would spend more at local retailers if same-day delivery options were provided. This amounts to about £4.9 billion ($6.08 billion) in total annual revenue lost. The survey also found that 62 percent of U.K. customers are willing to pay a premium for same-day delivery, which could add up to as much as an additional £94 million ($116 million).
U.K. consumers will return £59 billion ($73.3 billion) worth of items each year, and an additional £3.2 billion ($4 billion) of unused merchandise remains unreturned. They take 4.2 days to begin returning items.
Here are the numbers:
