Net Shoppers Prepared To Wait For Free Delivery
from the well,-of-course... dept
I imagine this will come as a surprise to very few people, but it seems that online shoppers are willing to wait a few extra days for delivery if it means that there are no shipping fees. This seems really obvious to me. If you've decided to buy something online, it suggests that it's not incredibly urgent for you to get the product. If you wanted it right away, you would go down to the store to get it. So, once people have agreed to wait to receive whatever they've bought, they're certainly willing to wait a few extra days to make it cheaper. I also think most people don't believe that it really does take longer. In my experiences in ordering products that are promised to come in 7 to 10 business days, they usually arrive in 2 to 3 days.

Re: Shipping Fees
About the only exception is when I order power tools. I get a lot of my tools from Harbor Freight Tools and they offer free shipping on a lot of their big, bulky items, so it's worth the few days wait to get it freighted to your house than it is to try to pay for a 'fast' delivery of a 200 lb tool.
