Study on the Timeliness and Accuracy of Logistics Delivery in Pre-Sale Platforms and E-commerce Platforms:

2025-02-19

In the modern era of online shopping, logistics delivery plays a pivotal role in customer satisfaction. This study aims to compare and analyze the timeliness and accuracy of logistics delivery between pre-sale platforms and traditional e-commerce platforms.

1. Introduction

The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to increased demand for efficient logistics systems. Pre-sale platforms, where products are sold before they are officially released, and traditional e-commerce platforms, which sell readily available products, both rely heavily on effective logistics to meet customer expectations. This study explores how these platforms manage their logistics to ensure timely and accurate deliveries.

2. Research Objectives

  • To compare the delivery times of pre-sale platforms and e-commerce platforms.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of deliveries in terms of product condition and correctness.
  • To identify key factors influencing logistics performance in both platforms.

3. Methodology

The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data analysis from delivery records and qualitative data from customer feedback. A sample of 500 orders from pre-sale platforms and 500 orders from e-commerce platforms was analyzed over a six-month period.

Key metrics included:

  • Average delivery time (in days).
  • Percentage of deliveries with errors (incorrect items or damaged goods).
  • Customer satisfaction ratings related to delivery.

4. Findings

4.1 Timeliness of Delivery

The study found that traditional e-commerce platforms had an average delivery time of 3.2 days, compared to 7.5 days

4.2 Accuracy of Delivery

Pre-sale platforms marginally outperformed e-commerce platforms in terms of delivery accuracy, with a 2.5% error rate3.8%. This could be attributed to stricter quality control measures on pre-sale platforms.

4.3 Customer Satisfaction

Despite longer delivery times, pre-sale platforms scored higher in customer satisfaction, with an average rating of 4.6/54.2/5

5. Discussion and Conclusion

This study highlights the trade-offs between speed and accuracy in logistics delivery. While e-commerce platforms excel in timeliness, pre-sale platforms offer greater accuracy and customer satisfaction. Both platforms can improve by adopting strategies from each other, such as better inventory management for e-commerce platforms and faster post-release shipping for pre-sale platforms.

Future research could explore the impact of emerging technologies, such as AI and blockchain, on improving logistics performance across both types of platforms.
