As we approach the mid-point of 2025, it’s a prime opportunity for businesses across Australia to reflect, review, and re-strategise. One area that often gets overlooked in these mid-year audits is delivery performance—and yet, it could be one of the most critical factors affecting your customer satisfaction, retention, and ultimately, your bottom line.
Why Delivery Speed Matters More Than Ever
In today’s fast-paced e-commerce landscape, customers don’t just want convenience—they expect it. Thanks to the rise of services like GoSAMEDAY, same day delivery has become not only possible but preferred in many Australian cities.
According to recent consumer studies, 68% of Australian shoppers say they’re more likely to buy from a retailer that offers same day delivery, and over half have abandoned a purchase because of slow or uncertain delivery times.
In other words: slow delivery is no longer just an inconvenience—it’s a conversion killer.
The Hidden Cost of Delayed Deliveries
Even if your business doesn’t operate in traditional e-commerce, slow delivery can still impact your brand. Whether it’s legal documents, medical supplies, food, or urgent retail stock, delays can:
- Damage your business reputation
- Increase customer service complaints
- Lead to cancellations or refunds
- Push loyal clients towards faster competitors
When customers feel let down, it’s not just a lost sale—it’s a lost relationship.
Time for a Mid-Year Logistics Audit
Now is the ideal time to ask yourself:
- Are your current delivery partners meeting expectations?
- Are you losing customers to competitors who offer faster or more flexible shipping options?
- Have you received complaints or negative reviews regarding delivery speed or reliability?
If any of these answers raise concerns, it may be time to pivot.

Don’t Let Delivery Be Your Weak Link
As you plan for the second half of the year, remember: your product may be excellent, your marketing strong—but if your delivery doesn’t match the pace of your promise, customers will go elsewhere.
