According to Forrester Research, the top reasons sited for cart abandonment are as follows:
* 57% – Didn’t want to pay shipping costs
* 48% – Total cost of purchase was more than expected
* 41% – Used the shopping cart for research
* 19% – Didn’t want to wait for the product
* 18% – Purchased offline instead
* 15% – Checkout process was too complicated
* 12% – Other reasons

On Wednesday, February 1, the shopping cart abandonment rate was 75%. Over the 2011 holiday season the lowest cart abandonment rate was nearly 68% (December 16). According to Forrester Research more than $18 billion is lost to shopping cart abandonment each year.
