We will explains how U.S-based fulfillment with Daguer Logistics can help you reduce cart abandonment and increase your conversion rates without sacrificing profit.
Black Friday 2025 is fast approaching, and for ecommerce brands, it's one of the biggest opportunities to drive sales. With over 131 million shoppers in the U.S. participating in Black Friday 2023 and $13 billion in online sales, brands are already gearing up for this year’s peak shopping frenzy. But one major issue threatens your holiday revenue—shopping cart abandonment.
On average, 73% to 78% of shoppers abandon their carts during Black Friday. The number is even higher on mobile, reaching an alarming 81% abandonment rate. And the #1 reason? High shipping costs.
Baymard Institute research has consistently shown that unexpected shipping costs are the top reason why online shoppers abandon their carts. Here’s a breakdown of why people leave their carts without purchasing:
· 48% – High or unexpected shipping costs
· 26% – Forced account creation
· 25% – Concerns about payment security
· 23% – Slow delivery estimates
· 22% – Complicated checkout process
· 21% – Hidden or unclear costs
· 18% – Unsatisfactory returns policy
In the rush of Black Friday, these issues become magnified. The stakes are higher. Shoppers are browsing multiple stores, comparing deals, and buying fast. If your checkout flow isn’t seamless and affordable they’ll leave you behind.
According to Sleeknote, 63% of all abandoned carts during holiday sales are due to unexpected fees like high shipping rates, taxes, and handling surcharges. Consumers expect fast and low-cost (or free) delivery options and when they don’t see that, they bounce.
This makes your shipping experience as important as your product pricing. U.S.-based fulfillment centers can reduce delivery times, lower shipping costs, and give you greater control over the buyer experience. At Daguer Logistics, we specialize in ecommerce fulfillment designed to optimize your Black Friday and Cyber Monday performance.
Here’s how partnering with a reliable U.S. fulfillment provider like Daguer Logistics can directly reduce cart abandonment this Black Friday:
By storing inventory closer to your U.S. customer base, we eliminate expensive international shipping rates. With domestic shipping zones, you benefit from faster, cheaper delivery options, often making free or low-cost shipping feasible.
Our strategically located fulfillment centers reduce last-mile delivery time. With 2-day and same-day shipping options, we meet customer expectations and prevent delays—one of the biggest contributors to cart abandonment.
Using our integrated Warehouse Management System (WMS), you can offer real-time shipping rate calculations at checkout.
No surprises = higher trust = more completed sales.
Avoid stockouts and slowdowns with real-time inventory tracking. With a connected system, your store only sells what’s available—reducing refunds, backorders, and customer frustration.
Returns are inevitable during holiday shopping. We provide branded return portals, prepaid return labels, and a seamless return process to help you maintain customer trust and encourage repeat purchases.
Your shipping options don’t just reduce cart abandonment—they boost average order value (AOV) and conversions.
Encourage bigger carts by offering free shipping on orders over $50–$75. With lower domestic fulfillment costs, these thresholds become more profitable.
Not every customer is in a rush. Give shoppers a choice between economy, standard, and express shipping, all pulled in real-time from integrated carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL.
Letting customers know when their package will arrive helps build trust. With Daguer Logistics, you can automatically display accurate delivery dates during the checkout process.
If you're still handling fulfillment in-house or shipping from overseas, it's time to re-evaluate. Black Friday 2025 will be more competitive, more mobile-driven, and more customer-experience-focused than ever before.
· Forecast demand and ship inventory to U.S. warehouses early
· Audit your checkout experience and reduce steps or form fields
· Display full shipping costs and delivery times up front
· Set up abandoned cart emails with reminders and limited-time shipping offers
· Partner with a fulfillment company that’s optimized for ecommerce growth

High or unexpected shipping costs disrupt the buyer’s purchase decision, especially during high-traffic events like Black Friday when shoppers are comparing deals. If the final cost is higher than expected at checkout, over 60% of users will abandon their cart. Offering transparent and affordable shipping is crucial to keeping customers through the final click.
Fulfillment centers located in the U.S. allow you to store inventory closer to your American customer base. This reduces shipping zones and delivery distances, resulting in faster and cheaper domestic shipping compared to international fulfillment models.
Display real-time shipping rates and estimated delivery times directly on product pages or at checkout. Integration with a fulfillment partner like Daguer Logistics can automate this with live carrier data, improving transparency and customer trust.
Yes. Offering free shipping—especially when tied to a minimum purchase threshold—can increase your average order value and lower cart abandonment. With reduced domestic fulfillment costs, it’s easier to offer free or discounted shipping while protecting your profit margins.
Ideally, you should begin preparing at least 60–90 days before Black Friday. This includes shipping inventory to U.S. warehouses, optimizing your checkout experience, and testing your systems to handle increased order volume. Early planning ensures smoother operations and fewer customer service issues during peak sales.
