    Abstract

    An experiment is conducted to ascertain the effects of time delay on consumer behaviour in the context of electronic commerce (e-commerce). Our experiment has found that sequences of delays cause annoyance amongst the subjects. There is little to suggest that psychological adaptation to the time delay may exist. Patterns of delay -- such as increasing and decreasing downloading speeds -- also matters when a subject evaluates an e-commerce shopping experience.
