Frequently asked question: How much furniture inventory does a retailer need to provide same-day delivery?
You need a lot. Whatever you've got, you got to have backup stock. Occasionally, stuff runs out in your market, last one, and the customers buy the floor model.
But you need a whole lot of inventory. It costs a whole lot of money. Plus, you got to have a warehouse receiving crew.
You got to have a crew that puts it in the cantilevered racks. You got a crew that picks it out and pulls it down, inspects it, shrink-wraps it, loads it on the truck, delivers it. It's a big operation to deliver furniture the same day.
