There is a huge office furniture sale taking place right now. You will not have heard of this in your local newspaper or from a sales agent stopping by your workplace. This particular sale will be running probably for least another year. Add even more amazing is that the sale was not being held by one office furniture company but 100. What we are referring to is the ongoing intense competition for an office furniture sale taking place across the Internet. Recent improvements in shipping and transport networks have allowed office furniture companies all around the world to be able to lower prices to unheard of bargain levels.
Pricing for items such as office desks, leather office chairs and bookcases have dropped so substantially, offline retail shops can scarcely compete with the pricing. For example the average price for a large size mahogany executive office desk is now 40% lower when purchased online than it would have been just five years ago. During the original dot com bubble, many companies attempted to sell large ticket items that were at the time difficult to ship such as executive office desks. These companies were unable to compete as they had no means to deliver the product. Today manufacturers ship the items direct to the end user through hundreds of its interlinking networks for delivery.
