Introduction

In the era of digital transformation, online shopping has become an integral part of our daily lives. Two prominent players in this domain are resale platforms and e-commerce shopping platforms. While both offer a wide range of products, their logistics delivery systems often differ significantly. This study aims to compare the timeliness and accuracy of logistics delivery between these two types of platforms.

Findings

1. Delivery Time

On average, e-commerce platforms delivered orders within 3 days, while resale platforms took 5 days. E-commerce platforms showed more consistency in delivery times.

2. Order Accuracy

E-commerce platforms had an accuracy rate of 98%, compared to 92% for resale platforms. This was primarily due to better inventory management systems.

3. Customer Satisfaction

Customers reported higher satisfaction levels with e-commerce platforms, citing faster and more accurate deliveries as key reasons.

Discussion

Conclusion

While resale platforms offer unique products and competitive pricing, they lag behind e-commerce platforms in terms of delivery efficiency. Enhancing their logistics infrastructure could significantly improve their competitiveness.

Recommendations
