Just think about it- Walmart has a couch with 3 in stock in Texas, and that's it. Create a huge pickup discount of 99% off so it's priced at $5. Wait for Amazon to match and sell a couple hundred grand worth of couches at a price that's less than the cost of shipping. Would be fun to watch.

What if someone orders all three of those couches to be picked up in store in NY?

Then he could probably sell them to someone else on DDF.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

one thing I don't understand, all these ship to store orders were shipped using FedEx. Does it really save them by shipping to store?

Fedex would likely charge them less.

They ship it with FedEx on a few pallets.
Much cheaper than shipping individually.

Fedex would likely charge them less.

If they have a deal with FedEx, those rates would work to any location.
It's shipping pallets that makes it real cheap.

And how does anyone explain Amazon shipping 4 oversized boxes to my house? Do they not get charged based on dimensional weight? Label seems to say 25lbs. for a 2 or 3 lbs. item.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
