Understanding the Impact of Order Tracking on Customer Experience
Order tracking has evolved from a nice-to-have feature into a fundamental customer expectation. Today’s consumers do not simply want to know where their package is. They want accurate updates, proactive notifications, and clear resolution when problems arise. These statistics show how central tracking has become to the overall customer experience.
1. 91% of consumers actively track their packages
Package tracking is nearly universal among the consumers surveyed. According to Verte’s 2022 consumer research, 91% of respondents actively tracked their packages. The study surveyed more than 1,000 American consumers, demonstrating how important shipment visibility has become. Brands that provide clear tracking information can keep customers informed throughout the delivery journey.
2. About 96% of shoppers track orders when tracking is available
When brands offer order tracking, approximately 96% of shoppers use it, according to figures summarized by ReadyCloud. This high adoption rate reinforces the importance of accessible tracking information. Branded tracking experiences also give merchants an opportunity to keep customers engaged instead of directing them exclusively to carrier websites.
3. 82% of Americans have high expectations for accurate delivery information
Accuracy matters as much as tracking availability. Verte’s consumer survey found that 82% of Americans had high or very high expectations for accurate delivery information when tracking packages through an app. Outdated or unclear tracking statuses can create unnecessary uncertainty. Providing reliable information helps customers understand shipment progress without repeatedly contacting support.
4. About 43% of shoppers check tracking updates daily
Nearly half of shoppers check shipment progress regularly. ReadyCloud reports that approximately 43% of shoppers check tracking updates daily while waiting for deliveries. This frequency highlights the importance customers place on knowing where their purchases are. Proactive communication can help address questions before customers feel the need to contact support.
5. 19% of Americans track packages multiple times daily
Some consumers check shipment progress several times throughout the day. According to Verte’s 2022 research, 19% of Americans tracked their packages multiple times daily. Frequent tracking creates additional opportunities for brands to provide useful updates. When shipment information is difficult to interpret, those repeated checks can also lead to support inquiries.
6. 70% of American consumers prefer checking tracking information over contacting support about delays
Self-service tracking is often the preferred response to shipping uncertainty. Verte’s survey found that 70% of American consumers would rather continue checking tracking information than contact customer service or the shipping company when a package is delayed. This preference supports investment in accessible, accurate tracking experiences. Customers can find answers independently while support teams focus on issues requiring action.
The Challenge of WISMO: Why “Where Is My Order” Queries Dominate Support
WISMO inquiries represent a substantial recurring expense in ecommerce customer support. Their share of total contacts varies across businesses, seasons, and reporting methods. Understanding the scale and financial impact helps CX leaders build stronger cases for automation investment.
7. WISMO accounts for 40–60% of ecommerce support inquiries in some operations
Order tracking questions can dominate customer support queues. According to ShippyPro’s 2026 WISMO guide, WISMO inquiries often represent 40–60% of ecommerce support volume, although the share varies by business. This concentration makes order tracking an important target for improving support efficiency. Reducing repetitive inquiries can create more capacity for complex customer problems.
8. WISMO inquiries often make up 10–25% of support contacts during normal periods
Other industry benchmarks report lower baseline volumes. ReadyCloud summarizes research indicating that WISMO inquiries typically represent 10–25% of customer service contacts during normal operating periods. The difference between reported benchmarks reflects variation in businesses and measurement methods. Even at the lower end, tracking inquiries represent a recurring operational expense that grows with order volume.
9. WISMO rates often rise to 15–40% during peak periods
Seasonal demand increases pressure on customer support operations. According to ReadyCloud’s industry summary, WISMO inquiries often rise to 15–40% of contacts during peak periods, with some cited studies reporting spikes as high as 50–80%. This additional volume arrives when teams may already be managing higher order activity. Clear delivery communication helps reduce unnecessary inquiries during busy periods.
10. WISMO calls can make up 50% of customer service queries
Tracking questions can also create significant phone support demand. In a 2021 industry article, project44 reported that WISMO calls can account for 50% of customer service queries. High call volumes make tracking visibility an important operational priority. Providing accessible shipment updates can help reduce the need for customers to call simply to confirm an order’s location.
11. Support teams handle 20–50+ WISMO tickets daily
Repetitive shipment questions consume significant support capacity. ShippyPro reports that ecommerce support teams may handle 20–50+ WISMO tickets each day, depending on order volume. This workload requires agents to repeat similar tracking lookups and responses. Automating routine order-status inquiries can free agents to address problems that require judgment or transactional action.
12. Each WISMO ticket can cost $4–$12 to handle
The cost of WISMO extends beyond answering a simple question. Industry figures summarized by ReadyCloud place manual WISMO handling costs at approximately $4–$12 per interaction. Actual expenses depend on staffing, service channels, and operational overhead. Across large ticket volumes, these recurring costs can make tracking automation financially significant.
13. The average cost per WISMO ticket is approximately €4 in ShippyPro’s benchmark
ShippyPro reports an all-in cost of approximately €4 per tracking-related support ticket, based on enterprise merchant pilot-cohort data. This estimate includes agent wages, tooling overhead, and escalation handling. Although individual merchant costs vary, the figure provides a practical benchmark for evaluating WISMO reduction initiatives.
14. Each WISMO call costs approximately $5 to resolve
Phone-based order tracking inquiries also create direct support expenses. A project44 industry article reports an average resolution cost of $5 per WISMO call. The figure illustrates how repeated status questions can accumulate into meaningful operational costs. Effective self-service tracking can reduce the number of calls requiring human attention.
15. Average handling time is 3–5 minutes per WISMO ticket
Even routine tracking questions require agent time. ShippyPro estimates average handling time at 3–5 minutes per WISMO ticket, including information lookup, interpretation, and response preparation. These short interactions accumulate quickly when teams handle large daily volumes. Their repetitive nature also makes them suitable for automated resolution.
16. Handling 300 WISMO tickets weekly can require approximately 100 agent hours monthly
A mid-size ecommerce operation can spend substantial time on order-status inquiries. In its illustrative workload model, ShippyPro estimates that 300 weekly WISMO tickets require approximately 100 agent hours per month. The same model estimates monthly labor costs of approximately €2,000 at €20 per hour. These benchmarks help CX leaders understand the operational impact of repetitive tracking contacts.
Beyond Information: How Action-First AI Transforms Tracking and WISMO Resolution

Faster shipping options often carry additional costs. According to Stord’s 2025 mystery shopping research, brands promising same-day or next-day delivery charged a median shipping fee of $11 per order, with some charges reaching $65. This demonstrates the cost trade-off associated with faster fulfillment. Brands should communicate shipping options and prices clearly so customers can make informed decisions.
The Automation Ceiling: Why Transaction Access Matters for Post-Purchase CX
The limitations of post-purchase automation are not determined by AI model quality alone. They also depend on what the AI can do within connected commerce systems.
A platform that only retrieves tracking information can answer a customer’s question but may not be able to resolve the underlying issue. For example, a customer asking about a delayed package may need a replacement, address change, or delivery claim rather than another explanation of shipment status.
The difference between answering and acting determines what happens next:
- Answering: AI retrieves tracking information and tells customers their package status.
- Acting: AI checks eligibility and applicable policies, then completes supported actions such as order changes, delivery claims, store credit, or exchanges.
When a platform cannot execute the necessary transaction, the workflow may require human intervention.
Kodif’s post-purchase-native architecture is designed to connect AI intelligence with transaction execution. Instead of functioning only as an information layer above commerce systems, Kodif supports eligible write-back actions inside connected applications.
This approach helps CX teams address more of the customer’s request within a single conversation. For brands managing high WISMO volumes, reducing unnecessary handoffs can improve operational efficiency while creating a more consistent post-purchase experience.
