OK, not such a big surprise.

According to a recent UPS report, the global shipping giant reports that delivery cost was an important buying consideration to 43% of online consumers. The only single item which was more important was the price of the item itself.

US consumers spend an average of $191 on average per online transaction and will add to their order to “round up” to a level that achieves better shipping terms such as free or faster delivery. However, when pressed, consumers rank “free” ahead of “fast”. A recent study by Dotcom Distribution finds that 67% of consumers are likely to add items to cart to receive free shipping.
