How to make your deliveries add up

Article Abstract:

There is a controversy among furniture retailers on whether to charge or not for deliveries.

Other retailers do not charge, considering it a competitive advantage. The recommended approach in ensuring the viability of delivery operations is through intensifying efforts in increasing the amount of average transactions.
