Brazilian online retailer B2W suffered high losses due to delivery delays
in the 12 months to March 2012 and is improving its delivery system.
Brazil: Delivery News about B2W, June 2012
B2W, a Brazil-based online retailer that owns eight E-Commerce
websites selling numerous products from theater tickets to
washing machines, experienced a net loss of USD 76.6 million in
the 12 months to March 2012 mainly due to delivery delays.
As consumer spending and online retail increased strongly in
Brazil, logistics at B2W was not able to handle the surge and, as a
result, failed to deliver and fulfill orders on time.
The delays became so bad that the company had to suspend
sales twice, because official institutions had received thousand of
complaints about B2W.
At the same time, B2W’s competitors offered lower prices and on-
time delivery while the number of competitors increased as well,
resulting in a customer loss for B2W.
After this, the company aims at improving its delivery system,
for which it uses private services and Brazil’s national postal
system, to make it more reliable. To make deliveries faster and
more reliable, B2W announced its investment in new distribution
centers in May 2012. Additionally, new equipment was installed in
the existing distribution centers has helped shorten delivery times.
