What is a delivery guarantee?

A delivery guarantee is a service commitment made by a seller or carrier that a shipment will arrive at the customer’s location within a specific time frame – often backed by compensation if the deadline is missed.

Delivery guarantees in eCommerce

In eCommerce, delivery guarantees are used to build trust and encourage conversions. Whether it’s same-day, next-day or within 3–5 business days, these guarantees depend on reliable logistics and real-time tracking. With everstox, delivery performance can be optimized through regional warehousing, carrier automation, and live data – helping brands to meet or even exceed their promised delivery windows.

Example for a delivery guarantee

A brand promises 24-hour delivery. Using everstox, orders are automatically routed to the closest fulfillment center and handed over to the appropriate parcel service in time to meet the guaranteed SLA.
