First, is the staffing adequate to take care of customers who have actually driven to the store to buy something, on top of processing e-commerce goods? Second, are assortments on seasonal goods starting to break (as they should about a week before Christmas), making it more difficult to fulfill web orders? Finally, are the logistics of getting goods from random store locations to the customer more difficult to coordinate with the big carriers?

Third party fulfillment services also allow merchants to divide inventory among multiple fulfillment centers. This allows them to earn higher margins. They can also provide free shipping.
I’ve raised red flags about this issue several times this year, as the practice has spread. Omni-channel retailers run the risk of overburdening their brick-and-mortar locations in a few key ways:
When choosing an e-commerce fulfillment provider, the three main factors to consider are cost, speed, and customer experience. Customers expect their orders to arrive as quickly as possible, but you also don’t want to greatly reduce your profit margin by absorbing over-the-top shipping costs. You also want to provide a good customer experience, and failing to do so could cost you lost customers. That’s why it’s crucial to find a happy medium between costs, speed, and customer expectations.
It’s not enough to know about fulfillment challenges or the symptoms of bad order fulfillment — businesses also need to make an effort to find order fulfillment solutions. The best way to improve order fulfillment, particularly during the last mile, is by using a delivery experience management (DEM) platform like Convey Engage, a tool that helps retailers stay on top of the post-purchase delivery experience. This tool helps retailers to provide customers with real-time, total order transparency that shows them where their order is, if there are any issues, and what happens next.
"With its 1–3-day transit times, Xparcel Priority means our eCommerce clients can provide their customers with rapid, reliable, and still affordable delivery," Manzione said. "Leveraging our network of regional and national shipping carriers allows RSL to pass along shipping savings to our valued clients, thereby both ensuring customer satisfaction and boosting their bottom line."
In the third quarter, Best Buy’s online sales expanded 21.6 percent, with about half of the gain attributed to the chain-wide rollout of ship-from-store capabilities in January 2014. Others are using a hub store model in each region. For instance, Walmart is using 83 Supercenters for ship-from-store and Target, 136.
These savvy retailers also understand how to properly staff. Employees on the floor selling versus picking and packing can be determined by a smart manager.
"RSL has experienced exceptional growth and development over the past 20 years," said Michael Manzione, President and CEO. "Moving forward, our focus will remain on offering all eCommerce retailers order fulfillment services that meet today's consumers' high expectations, such as next-day delivery and hassle-free returns."
Another option is a partnership, which provides a low-cost way to start an online retail business. However, it's important to keep in mind that this option can be difficult for taxation purposes.
Besides significantly improving inventory availability to fulfill online orders, Best Buy has said ship-from-store boosts margins because exposing clearance inventory to both retail and online customers spreads markdown risks. The need to reallocate inventories is also lessened. Finally, ship-from-store promises to speed shipments to nearby customers, a feat expected to support same-day delivery.
