Is Next-Day Delivery Becoming a Dirty Word in an Eco-Conscious World?
As a business owner, I’ve seen first-hand how customer expectations around delivery times are evolving, particularly in light of growing environmental concerns. While 24-hour delivery has long been a key selling point, it is increasingly becoming a controversial topic in the broader conversation about sustainability and resource consumption.
At my business, we’ve made a conscious decision to offer more environmentally friendly delivery options. These alternatives may take longer to arrive, but they use the most efficient methods possible to reduce our carbon footprint and conserve valuable resources. The feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive, as many are becoming more mindful of the environmental impact of their purchases.
I believe that, moving forward, Amazon will need to adapt to these shifting consumer values. As people realise the hidden cost of rapid delivery, companies will need to find a balance between meeting customer demands and aligning with sustainable practices. The demand for more eco-conscious delivery options will only continue to grow, and businesses that offer these choices will be well-positioned for the future.
We must acknowledge that the convenience of next-day delivery can no longer be viewed in isolation. It’s time for all of us to consider the bigger picture, where delivery speed isn’t the only factor that matters. Consumers are starting to weigh the environmental impact alongside speed, and businesses like ours are already offering solutions that align with these values.
I wonder what policy Amazon will come up with that will allow us to offer longer delivery options to our customers whilst still maintaining all the strict performance criteria we have to meet to keep our accounts healthy.

At the risk of exposing my ignorance, what's the sustainability / environmental difference between me using next day delivery vs 2 or 3 day?
Seller_CNXMnZmfYYY3b
I believe less than 5% of people care.. People want packages fast.

I am surprised that there seem to be so many people against this idea.
I argued many times on this forum that next day delivery was bad for the environment.
Seller_JtVqwLGCL4JrJ
You know why Amazon customers pay more for products on Amazon rather than competitors like eBay? Because they want it yesterday, last week or ideally last month. Tomorrow is too long to wait and the day after tomorrow is out the question.

Excellent article sir!
I entirely agree. As for Amazon, they will say they already offer 2, 3, and even 1 week delivery times.
I have no expectations from them unless it makes them lots of money. Take a look at the forum and you will see sellers at their wits end with them, as indeed I am.
I am however, intrgued as what alternatives you offer your clients and how that ACTUALLY reduces the carbon footprint. I would very much like to follow you!
Kind regards

This does not make any sense.
It is more efficient for them to deliver the parcel on time at a set time whilst the customer is at home . The most expensive thing a courier can do is to have to reattempt delivery if the customer is not in.
If I know a prime next day parcel is coming tomorrow, you can be sure I will be in waiting for it as it does what it says on the tin. Delaying my delivery with uncertainty causes more pollution when the driver has to keep re-attempting delivery.
If amazon wants to be more efficient then they need to roll out more lockers and pick up points. What I would like to see is the Apartment Residential Locker Program rolled out in the UK which is currently only available in US, Germany and Spain. Parcel thieves and the non delivery fraudsters don't like using them
if you want longer delivery options because you think it's more environmentally friendly then try buying it and shipping it from aliexpress and temu all the way from China?
