In Brazil, average delivery times range from 2 to 10 business days, depending on the region, with the Southeast concentrating most operations. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated delivery adoption, with a 40% increase in deliveries in 2020.

The doorstep delivery, though simple, represents trust in the online shopping system and the urban logistics that keep consumption active.
