Frequently Asked Questions
What is a shipment delivery exception?
A shipment or delivery exception indicates an unexpected delay in transit, a deviation from the normal delivery process. While it doesn't guarantee a late arrival, various factors can cause these exceptions, including customs problems, missing paperwork, severe weather, natural disasters, national holidays, vehicle issues, or other unforeseen events.
How do delivery exceptions typically affect a business?
Businesses are well aware of the headaches caused by delivery exceptions, and these issues significantly impact operations. When shipments or packages are delayed or go missing due to unforeseen circumstances, it directly leads to reduced customer satisfaction, even with robust order tracking in place. This frustration can quickly translate into an increased churn rate, as customers may opt to take their business elsewhere after a negative delivery experience, regardless of whether the fault lies with the carrier or external factors. Ultimately, these exceptions can severely damage a brand's reputation, even if your business isn't directly responsible for the delivery mishap.
