What’s this? Here you’ll find 802 “Delivery & Shipping Methods” full-page screenshots annotated with research-based UX insights, sourced from Baymard’s UX benchmark of 251 e-commerce sites. (Note: this is less than 1% of the full research catalog.)
During our testing we consistently observe that some types of shipping method interfaces provide users with a vastly better understanding and overview of their options. There are several, often missed, implementation details that can cause severe user misinterpretations of the shipping methods available, especially for sites that offer Store Pickup.

Shipping costs can constitute a relatively large part of the total order cost. Indeed, our latest quantitative study on reasons for checkout abandonments reveals that 60% of US online shoppers have abandoned orders in the past quarter due to “Too High Extra Costs Added” (typically shipping), and that 18% have abandoned due to “Delivery Being Too Slow”.
