Understanding the ROI of Implementing Same-Day Delivery

Why forward-looking retailers are investing in speed—and seeing returns.

In today’s high-expectation retail environment, speed isn’t just a service feature—it’s a profit center. Same-day delivery (SDD) is transforming retail logistics into a strategic advantage that drives revenue, retention, and brand value. Let’s break down the real return on investment for retailers implementing SDD.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Gets a Boost

Shoppers gravitate toward retailers who deliver convenience and consistency. According to Inc., 49% of consumers are more likely to shop again with a retailer that offers same-day delivery. That repeat behavior translates directly into increased CLV, building long-term revenue from loyal customers. (Inc., 2023)

Increased Average Order Value (AOV)

Same-day delivery taps into a shopper’s impulse mindset. When delivery is immediate, hesitation drops — and basket sizes grow. Retailers have observed that SDD encourages consumers to add more items to their carts, raising AOV with each transaction (Scoop Market, 2023).

Reduced Cart Abandonment

A major driver of abandoned carts? Delivery speed. InvestPro reports that 26% of shoppers abandon online carts if same-day delivery isn’t offered. Offering fast, dependable delivery at checkout gives customers the final nudge to convert. (InvestPro, 2023)

Competitive Differentiation in Local Markets

Gig delivery may cover ground — but it often falls short on consistency, professionalism, and brand alignment. By offering same-day delivery through a vetted professional network, retailers can stand out in saturated metro markets where consumers are choosing between multiple purchase options. Hypr Delivery’s professional model ensures accountability, reliability, and seamless brand experiences that elevate trust.

BOPIS Optimization and Reduced Unclaimed Orders

BOPIS has its place—but it’s not perfect. According to Inc., 20% to 30% of BOPIS orders are never picked up. Offering SDD as an alternative — especially when the pickup notification goes out — gives customers more flexibility and reduces the rate of unclaimed orders.

Real-World ROI Calculations

Same-day delivery delivers measurable impact. Roadie found that 66% of retailers saw increased conversions after implementing SDD. That gain is amplified by higher AOV, lower cart abandonment, and greater retention — creating a tangible, sustained return on investment. (Roadie, 2023)

The Takeaway

Retailers aren’t just competing on product anymore — they’re competing on experience. And speed is now central to that experience. Same-day delivery not only enhances CX but directly impacts the bottom line through higher conversions, lower churn, and more efficient fulfillment.
