Amazon is exploring a premium furniture assembly service, Bloomberg reported on Friday. According to the report, Amazon is experimenting with a premium service that would allow customers to opt for furniture assembly or appliance installation as soon as such items are delivered to their homes.
The move would enable Amazon (AMZN) to take on other furniture and home goods retailers like Wayfair (W), Best Buy (BBY), Home Depot (HD) and Lowe’s (LOW), Bloomberg said.
The report, citing unknown sources, said that AMZN is planning to introduce the furniture assembly service in Virginia and two other markets. Currently, Amazon only delivers furniture and appliances but doesn’t offer their assembly or installation.
Bloomberg said that the new service will involve the drivers not only delivering, unpacking and assembling the items, but also taking it back if the customer is not satisfied. The report said that this new service, if adopted, could simplify the company’s existing Amazon Home Services, available in select cities in the United States that allows customers to hire contractors through its website for furniture assembly or installation of electronic appliances.
