Research on the Timeliness and Accuracy of Logistics Delivery in Agent Purchasing Platforms and E-commerce Shopping Platforms

2025-03-13

Abstract

This study investigates the performance of logistics delivery in terms of timeliness and accuracy across agent purchasing platforms and traditional e-commerce shopping platforms. By analyzing customer reviews, delivery data, and platform policies, we aim to identify key factors influencing delivery efficiency and propose potential improvements for both types of platforms.

Introduction

The rise of global e-commerce has led to the proliferation of various online shopping platforms, including agent purchasing platforms (APPs) and traditional e-commerce shopping platforms (ESPs). These platforms serve different market needs, with APPs often catering to international shoppers seeking hard-to-find or region-specific products, and ESPs typically offering a broader range of goods to local and global markets. One critical aspect of customer satisfaction is the timeliness and accuracy of logistics delivery. This research focuses on comparing these two types of platforms to understand their logistics performance.

Methodology

Our research methodology involves:

  • Data Collection: Gathering customer reviews and ratings from both APPs and ESPs, focusing on delivery-related feedback.
  • Delivery Data Analysis: Examining delivery times and accuracy rates from a sample of orders across multiple platforms.
  • Platform Policy Review: Analyzing the logistics strategies and policies of selected platforms to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement.

Findings

The findings reveal several trends:

  • Timeliness:
  • Accuracy:
  • Customer Satisfaction:

Discussion

The discussion focuses on the implications of these findings. ESPs benefit from their established logistics networks, which are optimized for speed and reliability. In contrast, APPs struggle with the complexities of international shipping but provide a valuable service by facilitating access to otherwise unavailable products. Both platforms can improve their logistics performance by adopting advanced technologies and optimizing their supply chain management.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while traditional e-commerce shopping platforms currently lead in terms of delivery timeliness and accuracy, agent purchasing platforms offer unique value through international product access. Future research could explore the integration of APPs and ESPs to create hybrid platforms that leverage the strengths of both.
