Amazon (AMZN) is Experimenting with Furniture Assembly Service - Bloomberg

(Updated - April 16, 2021 9:29 AM EDT)

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is experimenting with a premium service that lets customers opt to have furniture or appliances assembled as soon as they arrive at homes, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the plan.

The move would help it compete more effectively with Wayfair (NYSE: W), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), Home Depot (NYSE: HD), and Lowe's Cos. (NYSE: LOW), the report said.

The new service requires drivers to assemble the furniture items, and take the item back on the spot if the customer isn't satisfied.

Drivers could also be trained to install appliances.
