In-store pick-up: Fast, efficient, friendly (mostly) Description: As multi-channel retailers increasingly recognize the importance of in-store pick-up of online orders as part of a cross-channel shopping experience, theyre making improvements to the pick-up service but still facing challenges, Chicago-based consultants The E-Tailing Group says in a third-quarter 2006 study on in-store pickup, which is included in its report, Expectations of the Cross-Channel Customer: Convenience and Control from Online to In-Store. While 53% of retailers in the study let online shoppers check inventory at the store level, only 56% of ordered products were available for same-day pick-up because merchandise had to be first shipped from a warehouse.
