Tips to improve your delivery rate​

The delivery rate is the most important metric in Algerian e-commerce. Successful stores achieve 75-90%+.

Before shipping​

  • ✅ Call the customer before shipping — confirm address and buyer intent
  • ✅ Confirm the order via SMS and call together
  • ✅ Add a clear landmark in the address (near mosque, in front of bank...)

When shipping​

  • ✅ Send the tracking number directly via WhatsApp
  • ✅ Inform the customer of approximate arrival time
  • ✅ Ask the customer to answer the courier's call

When rejected​

  • ✅ Call the customer immediately — understand the reason
  • ✅ Offer a solution (postpone, exchange) before the package is returned

Home delivery or Stop-Desk: which is better?​

This is a question many new sellers ask.

Home delivery​

  • Best for: heavy or bulky products, elderly customers, areas far from pickup points
  • Delivery rate: lower if customer is absent
  • Price: higher

Stop-Desk (pickup point)​

  • Best for: small lightweight products, customers in cities
  • Delivery rate: higher because customer deliberately goes to pick up
  • Price: 100-200 DZD cheaper typically

Recommendation: Offer both options. Customers who choose Stop-desk tend to be more committed to picking up.

Frequently Asked Questions​

What's the fastest shipping company in Algeria?​

In major cities, Zr Express and Yalidine compete for speed. For large cities and same-day or next-day delivery.

How do I get better pricing with a shipping company?​

Volume is the key to negotiation. The higher your daily order count, the lower the per-waybill price. Start at standard prices and negotiate after hitting 100+ orders/month.

How long does remboursement take?​

Varies by company — from 3 to 14 days. Yalidine and Maystro typically have weekly transfer cycles.

What do I do when return rates rise?​

First: ensure you're calling customers before shipping. Second: check if the issue is in product description (photo doesn't match product). Third: compare shipping companies on delivery rate in your target wilayas.

Can I change shipping companies later?​

Yes. With DZBuild you can use multiple companies simultaneously and pick the best one for each order.
