Why more retailers are offering same-day delivery
Executive Summary

More retailers are expanding same-day delivery options to compete with Amazon and meet customer expectations. The trend affects how marketplace sellers must position their fulfillment strategies.

Our Take

Sellers relying on standard shipping may lose Buy Box share as platforms prioritize fast delivery options. Review your FBA enrollment and consider upgrading to premium fulfillment services to maintain competitive positioning.

What This Means

This reflects the ongoing arms race in fulfillment speed, forcing all sellers to upgrade their logistics capabilities or risk losing market share to faster competitors.

Key Takeaways

Check your shipping settings in Seller Central - if delivery times exceed 2 days, enroll in FBA or Seller Fulfilled Prime to match competitor speeds.

Audit your product mix for same-day eligible items and optimize inventory placement in fulfillment centers closest to major metro areas.

Bottom Line

Same-day delivery expansion means slower shipping loses Buy Box.
