Abstract:
Last-mile delivery is considered an imperative element in online trading. As technology is expanding and accelerating, the need to make sure that online shoppers in Malaysia experienced on-time and reliable online shopping delivery services has become vital. Hence, e-retailers play a major part in investigating the challenges faced by online shoppers during delivery services and identifying their most preferred delivery options. This paper aims to investigate the influence of last-mile delivery options on the online shopper's experience and its effect on the intention to repurchase with e-retailers. The study was carried out among 150 experienced online shoppers. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling via SmartPLS 3. Findings revealed that time-slot delivery and unattended delivery significantly influence online shoppers' experience and repurchase intention. Hence, this paper provides useful insights for online retailers to improve their current and future last-mile delivery services to customers.
