Retailers offer a variety of incentives when you purchase furniture from their store.

One such option might be free shipping. But this isn’t a standard incentive for all retailers. In fact, many stores do not offer to deliver for free. But those that do charge for deliver do so for a reason, and those that claim “free delivery” are probably just tacking on charges in additional service fees.

Delivery creates expenses and most companies want to know that their delivery services are up to standard with the rest of their customer service. Therefore, they add a delivery charge that covers the cost of paying for excellent delivery services rather than skimping on the service end.
