Unlike furniture shops, an online retailer does not provide the comfort of touch and feel experience to customers. This is a huge drawback for online retailers in India, as customers here like to touch and feel any product before buying. Therefore, e-tailers must struggle to gain the confidence of new customers and retain loyal customers.
Also, usually, furniture delivery takes time as most of the retailer production houses are located far away from the cities. This poses an inconvenience to deliver the items quickly. However, to compensate for the long delivery issue, retailers offer additional services, like free home delivery, delivery tracking, and an easy return policy. Additionally, purchasing furniture involves big expenses, including advance payment. Customers need to make online advance payments for buying furniture online, which somewhere deters customers from shopping from online retailers. However, many retailers offer easy financing options and EMIs to combat this issue.
