With the cost of gas prices these days isn't time you did your shopping online and let the product come to you rather than having to spend all of your time driving from store to store and shopping 'till you drop?
In our case, shipping is a big deal. Not only does it weigh a lot, but it takes up a lot of cubic footage. Then you have the man-power, fluctuating gas prices, logistics and ... ugh. Let's just say it would be much easier for us if you came to get it, but it's not about what's easy for us.
When we started iFLOOR, affordable shipping was one of our biggest hurdles. Sure, we could save you 20 to 50%, but the savings were a little offset by the additional cost to ship. Our customers still came out ahead, but not as much as we had hoped.
As time went on, our volume grew, we leveraged our buying
power for quantitative shipping discounts,
and before we knew it, we could offer $49 shipping (which is exactly
what we're doing this week!) For only $49, we will deliver your floor to your doorstep. So now you'll get the best price on the perfect flooring
and have it sent to you for less than the cost of a tank of gas (and if you
drive an suv, less than a half tank.)
How can we do it? Sorry, it's a
trade secret. The ever watchful competitor would love to figure it out, believe
me. There are only a couple of exclusions: It's on minimum orders of $1,200 or
more, your order must be shipped within the 48 contiguous US states and
of course Clearance/Odd lot items are excluded.
This sale ends Friday, but I'd
urge you not to wait until the last day. Despite a lagging economy, our
inventory has been flying out the door and I'd hate you to miss out on the
right floor because we're sold out of a particular item. The sale is limited to
available inventory, so snap it up if you like it!
