Delivery Experience Survey Questions

Delivery is one of those moments customers remember—especially when it goes wrong. These templates help you measure the “why” behind delivery complaints: late arrivals, poor updates, damaged packaging, or address issues.

Copy‑paste delivery survey templates

The best delivery surveys separate the big drivers: speed, accuracy, packaging condition, tracking updates, and delivery-person experience.

Template A: Simple post‑delivery survey (recommended)

Use this when you want a short, high-response survey right after delivery confirmation.

Questions

1) “Did your order arrive on time?” (Yes / No)
2) “How would you rate the overall delivery experience?” (Poor → Excellent)
3) “Was the package in good condition when it arrived?” (Yes / No)
4) “Did tracking updates keep you informed?” (Not at all → Completely)
5) Optional: “What could we improve about delivery?” (Open text)

Template B: Delivery speed & reliability

This helps you separate “slow” vs “unpredictable” delivery issues.

Questions

“How would you rate our delivery speed?” (Slow → Fast)
“How reliable was the delivery timing?” (Unreliable → Very reliable)
Follow‑up: “If delivery timing was off, what happened?”

Template C: Order accuracy & handling

Useful when “wrong item / missing item / damaged item” is a recurring theme.

Questions

“Did you receive the correct items?” (Yes / No)
“Was anything missing?” (No / Yes — please specify)
“Was the product damaged?” (No / Yes — please describe)

Template D: Tracking & communication quality

Tracking problems often feel worse than delays because customers feel “in the dark.”

Questions

“Were estimated delivery times clearly communicated?” (Not clear → Very clear)
“Did you receive updates about delays?” (No / Yes / Not applicable)
Follow‑up: “What update would have helped most?”

Template E: Delivery person professionalism

This matters for trust and safety—and it’s measurable.

Questions

“How would you rate the delivery person’s professionalism?” (Poor → Excellent)
“Were drop‑off instructions followed?” (Yes / No / Not applicable)
Follow‑up: “Anything we should know?” (Open text)

How to keep delivery surveys “short but useful”

Keep delivery surveys focused on the delivery touchpoint (not your whole brand), and add one optional open-text question so people can explain what happened.

Good question design

  • Ask about one thing at a time (speed, accuracy, packaging).
  • Use clear labels (“Yes/No” or “Poor → Excellent”).

Fast action rules

  • If “late delivery” = Yes, trigger a follow-up ticket.
  • If “damaged” = Yes, offer replacement/refund options in the next message.
