Multi-Carrier, PUDO & Returns: The New eCommerce Standard

Episode overview

Delivery is no longer just logistics. It’s a conversion lever, a retention driver, and often the hidden reason why eCommerce brands lose revenue.

In this episode, we talk with the team at nShift about what most brands still get wrong about shipping, returns, and cross-border expansion.

Why do some markets expect home delivery while others prefer PUDO? Why do returns kill margins — and how can they actually increase loyalty? Why is “cheapest carrier” usually the wrong strategy?

We break down:

• How delivery impacts conversion at checkout
• Multi-carrier strategies and when they make sense
• PUDO vs. home delivery in different European markets
• The real cost of returns — and how to optimise them
• Common mistakes brands make when expanding internationally
• Why logistics should be part of your growth strategy, not just operations

If you're scaling an eCommerce brand in 2026, your delivery stack might be your biggest untapped growth lever.
