How much does same-day delivery cost a small shop?

It depends mostly on distance and how fast it needs to get there, but most local deliveries in Atlanta run between $15 and $30.

Should I charge customers for delivery?

Usually, yes, at least to start. Most customers who ask for same-day expect to pay for it, and charging keeps the economics honest while you learn what works.

What kinds of products work best?

Anything tied to a deadline, like gifts and outfits for an event, plus things people run out of, like cosmetics, and anything bulky or awkward to carry around for the rest of the day.

Do I need special software to offer delivery?

No. You can start by booking deliveries one at a time and only add more structure once you know it's working.
