01The Stakes

A furniture customer remembers the delivery, and blames the retailer.

Furniture is a considered, high-value purchase, so the delivery carries more weight than almost any other category. Shoppers do not separate the carrier from the retailer, and the research is blunt about who wears a failure.

47%

of consumers hold retailers accountable for failed deliveries, not the carrier.

73%

of shoppers say on-time arrival is core to a great delivery experience, even more important than low-cost shipping or returns.

61%

of consumers abandon carts when delivery isn't flexible, with no scheduling options or time windows.

65%

of consumers say a great delivery experience makes them return to a retailer, even if it costs more than competitors.

54%

of shoppers would abandon a retailer permanently due to unresolved delivery issues or poor post-purchase support.

8–20%

of parcels fail to reach the recipient on the first attempt across the industry, depending on carrier and delivery type.

99.95%

First Day Delivery Success is what PicUp holds against that benchmark, at scale, week after week.

Consumer statistics: Bringg, The Top 3 2025 Last-Mile Trends and 2026 Outlook, January 2026. First-attempt failure range: published estimates of 8% (FreightWaves / OneRail) to 20% (Harvard Business Review). PicUp figure is our own measured performance, described below.

02The Problem

A great sofa, ruined by a bad delivery.

Furniture is a considered, high-value purchase. When the delivery is late, damaged or dumped in a hallway, the customer blames your brand, not the carrier.

  • Oversized items damaged by parcel-style networks not built for furniture.
  • No room of choice, leaving customers to drag heavy items upstairs alone.
  • No assembly or packaging removal, so the experience ends in a mess.
  • Poor tracking and support, turning a premium purchase into a frustration.
For furniture retailers the delivery is the last, and most physical, impression of your brand. Choosing on price alone risks the loyalty you worked hard to earn.
03The Insight

For furniture, the delivery is part of the product.

The retailers that win repeat business treat delivery as an extension of the showroom. PicUp brings the handling, placement and finish that make a big-ticket furniture purchase feel complete.

04The Partnership

What furniture retailers get with PicUp:

Room of choice as standard

White glove finish

Basic assembly, unpack and placement, plus packaging and old-item removal, so the room is ready to enjoy.

Brand-safe visibility

Live tracking, proof of delivery and reachable support keep customers confident from checkout to placement.

Case Study

Bulky last-mile for the leading global e-commerce platform

Challenge

A bulky last-mile partner was needed across the Brisbane metro region for a client with notoriously high delivery standards. Existing carriers could not meet first-delivery-success requirements, or deliver the fleet flexibility that sharp volume swings demand.

Solution

Trained 2-man teams and a fleet mix of 1T–2T vans servicing Brisbane Metro 7 days per week. Unique to PicUp, our DTC–B2B–B2B2C network lets the fleet flex as volume swings necessitate: surging when needed, pulling back when not. No other carrier in market can offer this.

Result

99.95% First Day Delivery Success, sustained across an average of 2,000 bulky last-mile deliveries every week. The same handling standard runs on every furniture job we carry.

Proven capability at scale: ~2,000 bulky deliveries per week
