Is Christmas Coming Early? Retailers and Consumers Seem to Be Making it So.
Pawan Joshi, EVP of Products & Strategy at e2open, highlights the shift towards an earlier and flatter peak shipping season, driven by retailers taking advantage of lower freight rates and consumers accepting longer shipping times. He notes that pandemic-era changes in consumer behavior and the rise of gig economy delivery options, like Uber and DoorDash, have given brands more affordable ways to ship from stores, reducing the need for expedited shipping. Joshi also points out that as shoppers become more price-sensitive, they’re choosing slower, cheaper delivery methods when time is not a critical factor.
“They’re more price sensitive... If I don’t need it overnight, I’m not going to pay extra for that.” – Pawan Joshi, EVP of Products & Strategy at e2open
