Research report

Smarter checkout, smaller warehouse crew, smaller delivery fleet

Combined research with the University of Groningen shows that when a quarter of consumers are willing to wait a few extra days for their parcel, the national delivery fleet can shrink by over 20%, reducing CO₂ emissions by 7.5% in the process. With the Wuunder checkout, 88% of customers are willing to wait.

Shipping costs rising: what does your checkout look like?

Fuel surcharges keep climbing. A toll component lands in the Netherlands on 1 July 2026, and further surcharge increases for larger shipments are expected from January 2027. These aren’t just carrier problems — they flow directly into the rates you negotiate and the prices your customers see at checkout.

Our latest Parcel Radar edition breaks down the numbers and what they mean for your margins.

Jeroen Gehlen on BNR Zakendoen

On 1 May, Wuunder co-founder Jeroen Gehlen joined BNR Zakendoen live. The conversation centred on how smarter delivery benefits the entire chain. Sustainable delivery options don’t start at the back of the logistics chain, they start in the checkout. Give consumers the right choices there, and everyone wins: carriers operate more efficiently, warehouses face less peak pressure, and retailers strengthen their brand.
