Customers who do not complain about poor delivery experiences can be more costly to businesses than those who do. These "silent losses" occur when customers stop doing business with a company without voicing their complaints.

ShipStation reports that some customers will notify a business if they do not receive a package, but others will simply move on without saying anything. This can be particularly damaging to a business, as it is unable to address the issue.

Further information on this issue is available from ShipStation, which has discussed the problem of silent losses with business leaders, including the CEO of People's Choice Beef Jerky.
