With real-time customs events, from departure to carrier handover, Savvy fills in the gaps in many eCommerce supply chains. When customers check tracking and get the "We are expecting your parcel." message, we provide the breadcrumb trial between leaving the order packing facility, border crossings, customs clearance, and handover to the carrier. Detailed duty calculations assist finance teams with real-time data, as goods clear customs. Fully managed returns service means you have live visibility of any queried stock, goods ready for return, goods in transit and the live status of duty reclaim as they are filed and repaid. These are just some of the many benefits Savvy can offer.

🌐 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 🇳🇱 Did you know that over 80% of the Dutch population shopped online in the first half of this year? That's a record-breaking 12.6 million people aged 12 and older! 📈 This impressive growth highlights the increasing shift toward eCommerce, with clothing and footwear leading the way as the most popular category, boasting a 59% share. Interestingly, personal care products, medicines, and vitamins have seen the strongest growth rates, showing how consumer behavior continues to evolve. One standout trend is the surge in online shopping among Dutch seniors aged 65-75, rising from 64% to 73% in just a year. It’s clear that digital adoption isn’t just for the younger generations! For retailers, this represents a wealth of opportunity—particularly as the non-food sector remains strong, while food and meal ordering see a slight decline. At UKP Worldwide, we specialise in streamlining eCommerce logistics and customs clearance, helping businesses navigate the complexities of cross-border trade to meet these growing demands. With more Dutch consumers turning to online platforms, there’s never been a better time to ensure your shipping and returns processes are seamless.

🔄 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀: 𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 The latest report from ZigZag and Retail Economics reveals an emerging disruptor for retailers: slow returners. While they represent just 11% of online shoppers, their delayed returns are set to make up 21% of all non-food returns in the UK next year—an estimated £5.8bn. During peak seasons like Black Friday, this trend poses critical risks to inventory management and profitability. 📊 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: • Returns timing matters: 64.1% of shoppers return items within 1-5 days, but the 15.5% of shoppers who delay by 10+ days account for £9.8bn in returns, jeopardizing retailers' ability to resell items during peak periods. • Generational impact: Gen Z and Millennials, driven by convenience and impulsive shopping, are more likely to delay returns compared to Baby Boomers. • Retailer strategies: Shorter returns windows, proactive communication, and offering multiple return options (post office, home collection, drop-off points, etc.) are key to mitigating these challenges. Should retailers reconsider their extended return policies during peak season to balance customer satisfaction with operational efficiency? Could incentivising faster returns—like discounts for early returns—help retailers better manage inventory and boost profitability? Are “slow returners” becoming a long-term challenge for eCommerce, or is this trend just a seasonal concern? The data highlights the delicate balance between offering convenience to customers and safeguarding business sustainability. What are your thoughts on how retailers should address this growing challenge? Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/dTVrwBYh #eCommerce #ReturnsManagement #RetailStrategy #Logistics #PeakSeason
