SalesOptimize Report Highlights Winners in US eCommerce Shipping Market


Only 29% of US online stores that ship goods, quote free delivery as a service upfront, thereby restricting themselves in a growing $1.9 trillion global market*, according to a new research report by eCommerce search engine, SalesOptimize. The report "eCommerce market report, a fresh insight into USA shipping' is based on an analysis of over 540,000 US internet retailers that sell goods online, which is one of the biggest analysis of its kind ever undertaken.

"Free shipping is one of the main drivers that encourages more shoppers to spend online and online stores need to offer such a service to be able to compete in a rapidly growing eCommerce market worth an estimated $1.9 trillion,'' commented SalesOptimize CEO Liz Fulham.
