Thoughts:
“Every delay at delivery is a silent thief stealing your profit.”
“A reliable dispatch guy is worth more than a viral post.”
“Want fewer refunds and more reorders? Deliver faster. It’s that simple.”
Let me ask you something.
Have you ever ordered food online… and the driver took 1 hour 45 minutes to arrive?
Now picture how you felt when the guy showed up with lukewarm jollof and melted Zobo, smiling like he did you a favor.
You don’t forget those moments easily.
You don’t order from that vendor again.
You even tell your friends “don’t ever order from these people.”
Now flip the script.
That’s how your e-commerce buyers feel when you delay their delivery.
I used to think selling was the hard part.
But I later found out delivery is what truly kills most e-commerce businesses.
It’s the unseen thief.
You’ll run a good ad, close the sale, call the customer, package the product…
But if your dispatch guy delays or messes up, the whole thing crumbles.
The customer cancels. The sale dies.
You waste delivery fee. You burn ad budget.
And the worst part? That customer may never buy from you again.
All because you didn’t have a strong delivery system.
Here’s what I learned the hard way: The longer it takes to deliver, the more money you’ll lose.
I used to think it was a small issue. “Ah, the rider will get there.” Until reality slapped me.
I ran over 4,000+ orders across 6 different products. And the data was loud.
When we delivered in 24 to 48 hours, our success rate was around 68%.
People were still excited.
They were at home. They picked up. They paid.
But once delivery passed Day 3? Success rate dropped to 32%.
It was like flushing ad money down the toilet. That thing hurt.
So I created a simple rule for myself:
If you can’t deliver fast, don’t even bother packaging.
Trying to sell a product with slow delivery is like trying to sell ice cream from a broken freezer.
By the time you show up, the thing don melt.
Buyer don change mind.
The real secret?
✅ Keep a short list of riders who can deliver same-day or next-day across your major zones.
✅ Confirm addresses within minutes after an order drops. Don’t wait till night.
✅ Use simple tools to track delivery. I repeat — track that shit. Your money is inside that bag.
✅ Remind your buyers via SMS, WhatsApp, or calls. Don’t assume they’ll be at home.
✅ And if a rider messes up once or twice… cut them off. You’re not running a charity.
This one thing alone — speed — will make or break your business.
The product doesn’t even have to be the best.
But if you deliver it fast, it’ll FEEL like magic.
