Abstract: This paper empirically examines the mediating role of shopping satisfaction between electronic logistics service quality (e-LSQ) and repurchase intention. Further, this paper investigates the moderating role of gender, payment options, and returns or replacement experience on the link between e-LSQ and shopping satisfaction (and repurchase intention). Empirical data comprising 640 Indian online shoppers are analyzed with covariance-based structural equation modeling. The findings indicated that the condition of the shipment is the most crucial e-LSQ dimension and its linkage with shopping satisfaction varies across payment options, gender, and returning experience. The poor condition of the shipment might have triggered the returns in e-tailing in the Indian context. The findings will help e-tail managers design a robust logistics network to retain and win despondent customers.
