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.

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”.
