Disclosed are various embodiments for generating incentives for users accessing an electronic commerce system that maximizes shipping consolidation for a merchant in the electronic commerce system. An incentive generator determines the shipping address for a user on the electronic commerce system. The incentive generator identifies at least one previously scheduled order to destinations located within a predefined area relative to the user shipping address. The incentive generator gathers the target delivery dates of identified previously scheduled deliveries and generates at least one incentive for the user to select a delivery date substantially similar to the target delivery dates. The at least one incentive is based at least in part on the destination of the previously scheduled order, a target delivery date of the previously scheduled order, and a shipping capacity threshold.
