- 28% of a product’s total transportation cost is involved in last mile deliveries.
- The average cost of re-delivery is $15.
- The follow on cost for a 2nd delivery is equivalent to delivering 3 packages.
“No one is at home to receive” is the number one reason for failed deliveries, with 54.9% instances.

Missed deliveries affect customer loyalty and the perception of a retailer/service provider:
69% of customers won’t shop with a retailer if an item they purchased is not delivered within two days of the date promised.

16% of customers will abandon shopping with a retailer altogether if they receive an incorrect delivery just one time, and 14% will do so if they receive a late delivery just one time.

Every time a delivery attempt fails, it adds extra cost including transportation, re-delivery time, additional time in warehouse/storage, etc.

What is First Attempt Delivery Rate (FADR)?

FADR is a direct indication of the successful deliveries made in the first attempt.
A High FADR can:



Be the minor difference to win major contracts
Enhance Customer Experience Exponentially
Reduce Costs involved in multiple deliveries, storage of packages & management personnel
An improved FADR is a win-win situation for the customer, the delivery executive, and the service provider.
