Summary

Welcome to the IMRG UK Consumer Home Delivery Review – 2019/20. Over the past 11 years this ‘deep-dive’ review has established a unique place in the area of online delivery research, asking more than 50 questions consistently focussed around online fulfilment and delivery. It not only provides a snapshot of the current position but offers this in the context of the evolving landscape, offering up to eleven years of trend data for many questions.

We survey over 2,000 UK households to benchmark current levels of customer satisfaction and expectation in regard to online delivery. The review has become a vital tool to help retailers shape their delivery proposition and anticipate future needs.
