What is the Driver Late Rate?
The Driver Late Rate measures the percentage of late deliveries against your total deliveries within the current quarter.
Why is the Late Rate important?
Delivering items on time is crucial for customer satisfaction. However, occasional late deliveries are understood and accounted for.
How is the Late Rate calculated?
A delivery is considered late if it’s delivered after the 'Deliver By' time. However, delays beyond your control, such as long wait times at pickup locations or already late deliveries when accepted, are not counted against you.
Common Scenarios Explained
-
Waiting at Pickup
- Not Late: If wait time exceeds late time.
- Late: If late time exceeds wait time.
-
Accepting an Already Late Delivery
