However, with the rise of services such as Amazon PrimeNOW, Postmates, DoorDash, and other on-demand businesses, the gap between what businesses are offering and what shoppers actually want is growing.

Even in a world where free shipping is almost de facto, 31% of those buyers are willing to pay a premium of 1 to 3 hour delivery, and up to 55% are willing to pay for same day.

Online business who have the ability to offer on-demand delivery options will have a competitive advantage.
