The research only focused on four of the most common delivery failure scenarios, such as:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failed first delivery – re-delivery is required.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failed first delivery – collection by the customer.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late delivery – not delivered within the expected time-window.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Order lost – a replacement has to be sent.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The estimated cost of the first three groups combined (failed first-time, on-time, every-time delivery) turned out to be over 1.85 billion euros in 2018.</span></p>\n<h6><strong>Improvement</strong></h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistically speaking, the rate of failed deliveries has improved over the past couple of years.
