E-commerce SaaS platform BigCommerce added flexibility for sellers with a buy-online, pick-up-in-store offering.

Via.Delivery has found that 18% of U.S. consumers use buy-online, pick-up-anywhere services when offered at checkout.

Data indicates delivery companies may have been overstaffed for the peak shipping season, leading to fewer delays and a successful season.

Bed Bath & Beyond has added Roadie as a last-mile delivery partner, expanding its network with an additional 200,000 drivers.

Offering speed enables retailers to build scale and density, but only if expectations are appropriately set and delivered on as promised.

Improvements will come in the form of more ship-from-store, but mainly more ship-from-dark-store as retailers realize the unnecessary complexity of the method and seek to transform more stores into localized fulfillment centers.
