Abstract

Multichannel retailers are implementing cross-shopping options such as click-and-collect with the objective of better serving their customers. When consumers shop online to multichannel retailers they usually can choose between home delivery or click-and-collect (delivery at a nearby store). In this paper we investigate the consumers’ motivations behind this choice. Our results reveal that click-and-collect is explained by higher hedonic orientation whereas home delivery is explained by convenience orientation. Immediate gratification, and perceived delivery risk do not play a significant role in the choice.
