What’s the one thing that can tank your sales before your product page even loads? Shipping time. Today we dig into the psychology behind fast shipping and why your customers don’t care that you’re not Amazon, they just want their stuff now. From cart abandonment to credibility, host Megan Hansel walks through why long delivery windows kill conversions and what today’s buyers actually expect.
We also look at the ripple effect: how fast shipping builds trust, earns repeat purchases, and even boosts your visibility in search and marketplaces. Whether you’re brand new or already making sales, this episode makes the case for speed as a growth strategy, not just a logistics upgrade. And yes, we’ll show you how Doba helps you compete (without needing 100 warehouses and an army of robots).
