Online order delays during coronavirus highlight e-commerce limits - Business Insider
As online grocery orders surge across the country, companies like Amazon and Walmart are fighting to keep up with a barrage of orders from homebound consumers.
Jim Hull, senior director of retail industry strategy at Blue Yonder, said he's heard from several consumers who said they attempted to place orders through Instacart or similar delivery services, only to find that the next available time was more than six days out.
"With people spending so much time at home now, they are still trying to figure out what their consumption patterns truly look like," he said. "People that used to buy lunch and eat out two to three evenings per week are now running through basics like bread and milk much faster than before. A two-to-three-day wait for the basics will be unacceptable, which will trigger a trip to a brick-and-mortar location."
